"Jan Cornelis Sylvius, Preacher" is a portrait painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1633. The artwork depicts Jan Corneliszoon Sylvius, a preacher and relative by marriage to Rembrandt, as Sylvius married Rembrandt's cousin, Aeltje Pietersdr Uylenburgh. The painting is a fine example of Rembrandt's portraiture from his early Amsterdam period, showcasing his skill in capturing the psychological depth and character of his sitters.

In this portrait, Sylvius is presented as a dignified figure, with an intense gaze that suggests his intellectual and spiritual fervor. The preacher's attire is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, from the folds of his black cloak to the white, starched millstone collar, which was typical of the Protestant clergy of the time. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure and adds a dramatic effect to the composition.

The painting measures 77 cm by 63 cm and is executed in oil on canvas. It is part of a series of family portraits commissioned by the Uylenburgh family, which also included a portrait of Sylvius's wife, Aeltje. "Jan Cornelis Sylvius, Preacher" is not only a testament to Rembrandt's talent as a portraitist but also provides insight into the religious and social context of 17th-century Amsterdam.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art museums around the world, allowing the public to appreciate Rembrandt's mastery in portraiture. The work is often studied for its artistic merit and as an example of the cultural and historical milieu of the Dutch Golden Age.
