Rembrandt 1606-1609
When Rembrandt painted this very intimate portrait of his lover Hendrickje Stoffels (link ), she was in trouble with the church. The Protestant church in Amsterdam denounced her as a loose woman for living with Rembrandt without being married. In this painting, he declares the depth of his love. It is at once sensual – wearing just a fur round her shoulders, she seems ready for bed – and soulful. It is truly an act of love, this hymn to Hendrickje’s inner and outer beauty.
This is an intimate moment in Rembrandt’s life with Hendrickje Stoffels. She became his mistress after the death of his wife Saskia( 1642), but Rembrandt could not remarry because it would jeopardise his inheritance from Saskia. He needed the money because his finances were a mess. When Rembrandt (who lavished cash on costumes for his portraits, curiosities for his collection and a fine house) went bankrupt, Hendrickje became his business representative.

Titien 1488-1576
An agent for the Duke of Ferrara once wrote a letter – which survives – reporting to his master on the great Venetian painter Titian. Titian’s health is fine, he says, but he gets exhausted because he paints women in various poses then has sex with them. This rare glimpse of Titian’s studio life illuminates his nudes, which are painted from life and show his lust for beauty.

Messe en ut mineur K 427 (1783)
Il ne s’agit pas d’une œuvre de commande , mais plutôt d’une action de grâce , puisque Mozart s’était fait le serment d’écrire une messe, une fois marié avec Constance, qui venait de tomber malade (lettre à son père, Léopold du 4 janvier 1783).
