   "The religious paintings of the last period of Rembrandt (1609-1669) are very personal in his interpretation of scriptures and in their forms and techniques. The worn-out body of the kneeling son lives in rags, and we feel as much as we see the hands of his father pressing on his shoulders. Rembrand focuses on the relationships between the main characters who are embedded in a mysterious color. The essential meaning of the parable is simply materialized by the image of the very humble repentance and the loving forgiveness of the father, the return home as an allusion to death, and  the most secret link of man with the divine. "
