Marry Me
Detail of Rembrandt’s spectacular wedding portrait of Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit at the exhibition "High Society", Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. Rembrandt (1606-1669) painted the portraits in Amsterdam in 1634 when he was twenty-eight. They were Rembrandt’s first life-sized, full-length painted pendant portraits – and the only ones he would ever make. Marten married Oopjen in 1633. He was 20 and a law student, ready for a career in politics. Sadly, he died a mere eight years later.
