From the Rijksmuseum record
Written by Jan Six, the tragedy Medea premiered in 1647. Rembrandt designed the title page for the printed play. The scene he depicted, incidentally, does not appear in it: he only summarized the plot. In the right foreground is Medea, abandoned by her husband, Jason, who marries Princess Creusa on the dais above. Medea wrought gruesome vengeance on them.
