Man in a Golden Helmet The painting is on display in Staatliche Museen, Berlin. Other famous artworks of the Baroque Art period are there as well. As usual in a Rembrandt portrait, this is a combination of keen psychological analysis with a subtle, powerful music of lights and shadows. His faces are always full of meaning and of character, strongly individualized through emphasis on a few distinctive contours. They are never bland, impersonal, regular masks. Instead, they bear the marks of experience, thought and feeling. This tempts us to wonder what reserves of personality lie behind them. In this psychological interest Rembrandt is akin to Leonardo da Vinci. He is also similar in his reliance upon soft, mysterious shadows as the basis of his form. There is little range or brilliance of colour in either. However, Rembrandt had profited by sixteenth century Venetian painting. He knew how to blend his colours with light in a way that Leonardo did not. As a result, he could make the most of what he used. In his own works the shadows are never drab and dead. The modelling is never hard and sculptural. The transitions from dark to light are never flashily theatrical. Nor does he rely on a beautiful or interesting face to cover up lack of pictorial form. The obverse of the Cook Islands coin traditionally bears the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. In fact, the coin, titled Silver 3 Ounce Rembrandt Man With Golden Helmet Cook Islands 2010, stands out in the Masterpieces Of Art Series.
