"Jan Cornelius Sylvius, Preacher" is a notable portrait painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1634. The work 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 their marriage. The painting is an example of Rembrandt's early portraiture, showcasing his skill in capturing the character and inner life of his subjects.

The portrait is executed with the dramatic chiaroscuro and keen psychological insight for which Rembrandt is renowned. Sylvius is portrayed with a commanding presence, his gaze fixed beyond the viewer, as if he were addressing an unseen congregation. The preacher's face is illuminated, drawing attention to his thoughtful expression, while the rest of the composition is shrouded in shadow, a technique that adds depth and focus to the subject.

Rembrandt's use of light not only highlights the preacher's facial features but also emphasizes the textures of his clothing and the rich, dark tones of his attire, which reflect his clerical status. The painting's composition, with Sylvius's hand raised in a gesture that suggests oration or blessing, contributes to the narrative quality of the work, inviting viewers to contemplate the subject's message and character.

"Jan Cornelius Sylvius, Preacher" is held in high esteem for its artistry and as a representation of Rembrandt's portraiture during a formative period of his career. The painting is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and its embodiment of the artist's mastery of portraiture.
