He suffered from congenital syphilis, which caused him to go blind about 1690; he subsequently focused his energies on art theory. By the time this portrait was painted, in 1665, the ravaging effects of the disease were visible in his swollen features and bulbous nose. Recording his unfortunate appearance with an uncompromising directness, Rembrandt invested his subject with an air of quiet dignity. Although the sitter's theories on the ideal in painting were antithetical to Rembrandt's style, which Lairesse disparagingly likened to \"liquid mud on the canvas,\" the portrayal is a sympathetic one.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/459082\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Portrait of Gerard de Lairesse\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn)","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49888122896627,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (44 3\/8\" x 34 1\/2\")","offer_id":49888122929395,"sku":null,"price":2450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 1\/4\" x 15 3\/4\")","offer_id":49888122962163,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 7\/8\" x 19 3\/8\")","offer_id":49888122994931,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 3\/8\" x 23 5\/8\")","offer_id":49888123027699,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39 1\/4\" x 30 5\/8\")","offer_id":49888123060467,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (47 1\/8\" x 36 5\/8\")","offer_id":49888123093235,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (55 1\/2\" x 43 1\/4\")","offer_id":49888123126003,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (66 5\/8\" x 51 3\/4\")","offer_id":49888123158771,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/PortraitofGerarddeLairesse.jpg?v=1790353941","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/portrait-of-gerard-de-lairesse","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
