"Portrait of John Calvin (1509–1564), French Theologian and Reformer" is a work of art depicting the influential Protestant Reformer John Calvin. While the artist behind this portrait remains anonymous, the artwork serves as a significant historical representation of one of the key figures in the Protestant Reformation. The portrait is believed to have been created during the 16th century, around the time of Calvin's life or shortly after his death.

John Calvin was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism. Born on July 10, 1509, in Noyon, Picardy, France, Calvin was a law student before he embraced the teachings of the Reformation and broke from the Roman Catholic Church. He settled in Geneva, where he played a pivotal role in reorganizing the church and society according to his interpretation of the Bible. Calvin's works, including his seminal text "Institutes of the Christian Religion," have had a lasting impact on both religious thought and the governance of society.

The portrait itself is an important artifact for both art history and religious studies, as it provides a visual representation of a figure whose ideas have had a profound influence on Western culture. Typically depicted in black attire with a white collar, Calvin's portraits are characterized by their austere simplicity, reflecting the sober, disciplined approach to faith and life that Calvinism espoused. The anonymity of the artist may suggest that the portrait was created by a follower or someone within Calvin's close circles, rather than a commissioned work by a well-known artist of the time.

Due to the lack of concrete information about the specific work titled "Portrait of John Calvin (1509–1564), French Theologian and Reformer" by an Anonymous Artist, and the potential existence of multiple portraits fitting this description, further details about the provenance, medium, dimensions, and current location of this particular portrait are not provided here. However, any extant portrait of John Calvin holds value for its contribution to the visual legacy of one of the Reformation's most significant leaders.
