Aert de Gelder is best remembered as Rembrandt's last pupil, having studied in the master's workshop in the 1660s before returning to his native Dordrecht. Throughout de Gelder's career his style remained close to his teacher's, with loose and fluid brushwork and an overall muted palette. De Gelder often took thematic inspiration from Rembrandt as well. The present painting, datable to the first decade of the eighteenth century, is likely derived from a composition by Rembrandt, known today in a fragmentary state (fig. 1). Rembrandt's Homer was commissioned by the Sicilian collector Don Antonio Ruffo as part of a larger series of half-length figures by various artists. Rembrandt's painting must have also included the scribes, as two fingers holding a pen can just be made out in the lower right hand corner of the painting. This is further confirmed by a drawing now in the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm (inv. no. NMH 1677⁄1875). The young de Gelder may well have seen Rembrandt's composition in an unfinished state in his master's studio, as various documents attest to it still being with the artist in July of 1661 and 1662. It was only completed and delivered to Ruffo in 1664. De Gelder appears to have largely retained Rembrandt's composition, though in reverse.
