Painted ten years apart. I took this picture of the Mauritshuis self-portrait in late March and the self portrait in the NGA-Washington a week ago. Struck by the lightness of the background in the former.

Nimrod, that great symbol of pride, and the Tower of Babel. Of Nimrod Dante writes in Canto 31 of the Inferno:

He stands his own accuser.
It's Nimrod there. Through his sick whim
no single tongue is spoken anywhere.
