Rembrandt created his notable self-portrait first. Rembrandt, known for his detailed and emotional self-portraiture, created numerous self-portraits throughout his life, from the 1620s until his death in 1669. Frida Kahlo, on the other hand, was born in 1907 and created most of her self-portraits in the 20th century. Therefore, Rembrandt's self-portraits precede Frida Kahlo's by about 270 years.
