"Portrait of Rabbi Jacob ben Aaron Sasportas" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age portraitist Isaac Luttichuys. The artwork captures Rabbi Jacob ben Aaron Sasportas, a prominent Jewish figure known for his rabbinical scholarship and opposition to the messianic claims of Sabbatai Zevi. Luttichuys, who was active in Amsterdam, is recognized for his refined portrait work, which often depicted the city's wealthy merchants and notable personalities.

The portrait is notable for its historical significance as well as its artistic merit. It provides a rare visual documentation of a Jewish intellectual from the period, at a time when the Jewish community was experiencing both flourishing cultural autonomy and external challenges. Luttichuys's portrayal is marked by a sensitive rendering of the rabbi's features, with attention to the textures of his attire and the thoughtful expression on his face, which suggests the intellectual and spiritual depth of the sitter.

The painting is an important example of the cultural exchanges between Jewish and non-Jewish communities in Amsterdam during the 17th century. It reflects the city's reputation as a center of relative religious tolerance and a haven for Jewish refugees fleeing persecution in other parts of Europe. The work is also significant for its contribution to the understanding of the representation of Jewish subjects in European art history.

As a piece of Luttichuys's oeuvre, the "Portrait of Rabbi Jacob ben Aaron Sasportas" demonstrates the artist's skill in capturing the dignity and individuality of his subjects. The painting is a testament to the diversity of Amsterdam's society during the Dutch Golden Age and serves as a valuable artifact for both art historians and scholars of Jewish history.
