From LinkedCulture
A nineteenth-century French artist sat before Rembrandt's 1660 self-portrait at the Louvre and painstakingly redrew it in charcoal. Alfred-Louis Bahuet captured the aged painter in his white cap and dark robes, hands poised at the easel, using deep velvety blacks to mirror the drama of the original oil. This drawing, now held at the Petit Palais in Paris, shows how seriously academic artists treated copying as a discipline, not mere imitation, but a direct conversation with a master's technique.
