"Jan Cornelis Sylvius, Preacher" is a portrait painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, created in 1633. The artwork depicts Jan Corneliszoon Sylvius, a preacher and an important figure in Rembrandt's life, as he was the artist's wife's cousin and played a significant role in the couple's lives. The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 77 cm by 63 cm.

The portrait is a fine example of Rembrandt's early work, showcasing his exceptional skill in capturing the psychological depth and character of his subjects. Sylvius is portrayed with a penetrating gaze and a solemn expression, reflecting his religious vocation and the seriousness of his profession. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, is evident in this work and contributes to the dramatic effect of the preacher's likeness.

Rembrandt's attention to detail is visible in the rendering of Sylvius's facial features, the textures of his clothing, and the intricate lace collar, which was a common fashion element in the 17th-century Dutch attire. The painting's composition and the subject's direct engagement with the viewer are characteristic of Rembrandt's portraiture and exemplify his ability to convey a sense of intimacy and immediacy.

"Jan Cornelis Sylvius, Preacher" is not only a testament to Rembrandt's mastery of portraiture but also provides historical insight into the social and cultural context of the Dutch Golden Age. The painting is held in a private collection, and its provenance and exhibition history contribute to its significance in the oeuvre of one of the most renowned painters in the history of art.
