"Jan Cornelis Sylvius" is a portrait by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, painted in 1633. This artwork depicts Jan Corneliszoon Sylvius, a preacher and an important figure in Rembrandt's life, as Sylvius was a relative by marriage—being the uncle of Saskia van Uylenburgh, whom Rembrandt married in 1634. The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium Rembrandt mastered and used to convey the depth of character and emotion of his subjects.

The portrait is notable for its detailed depiction of Sylvius's features, including the textures of his skin and hair, and the intricate lace collar that was fashionable among the Dutch clergy and elite during the 17th century. Rembrandt's use of chiaroscuro, a technique involving the contrast of light and shadow to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects and figures, is evident in this work. This technique enhances the spiritual and introspective mood of the portrait, inviting viewers to ponder the inner life of the subject.

"Jan Cornelis Sylvius" is an exemplary piece of Rembrandt's portraiture, showcasing his skill in capturing the essence of his sitters and his innovative use of lighting and texture. The painting not only serves as a historical document, providing insight into the fashion and religious figures of the Dutch Golden Age, but also as a testament to Rembrandt's profound ability to convey human emotion and dignity. This work is currently housed in a notable museum collection, contributing to the legacy of Rembrandt's profound impact on the art of portraiture.
