Biography: Henri Matisse
The Sorrows of the King

Sorrows of the King was
Matisse's final self portrait. This
work refers to one of
Rembrandt's canvases, David
Playing the Harp before Saul, in
which the young biblical hero
plays to distract the king from
his melancholy, as well as to
Rembrandt's late self portraits.
Here Matisse depicts the
themes of old age, of looking
back towards earlier life, and of
music soothing all cares.
