La mention d'un tableau repr�sentant "une t�te du Christ, d'apr�s nature", dans l'inventaire des biens de Rembrandt �tabli au moment de sa banqueroute en 1656,...› Lire la suite a toujours constitu� un paradoxe, une �nigme. Cette �nigme est le point de d�part d'une recherche qui a abouti � l'exposition pr�sent�e au mus�e du Louvre en 2011, puis � Philadelphie et D�troit en 2011 et 2012. Dans quelles circonstances Rembrandt et ses �l�ves ont-ils peint des �tudes pour une t�te du Christ ? Quelle pouvait �tre la fonction de ces tableaux ? Simples exercices d'atelier ? Minutieuses �tudes destin�es � �tre report�es dans de grandes compositions religieuses ? Ces peintures paraissent graviter autour des P�lerins d'Emma�s, l'une des oeuvres phares des collections hollandaises du Louvre et l'une des plus c�l�bres repr�sentations du Christ apr�s la R�surrection.
Un mod�le vivant, un jeune homme issu de la communaut� juive d'Amsterdam, a-t-il pos� dans l'atelier de Rembrandt, pr�tant ses traits � J�sus ? Derri�re cette question, on devine les enjeux de l'art de Rembrandt : l'amour de la nature, l'�mulation avec les artistes de la Renaissance aussi bien italiens que germaniques -, la volont� de renouveler les images chr�tiennes. "Rembrandt et la figure du Christ" : une silhouette, un visage, une expression..., mais aussi une grande personnalit� artistique qui s'�panouit lorsqu'elle affronte un th�me universel, peut-�tre le plus difficile qui soit - peindre le visage du Christ.
