Painting Description
"Jan Cornelius Sylvius" is a portrait etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1633. The work depicts Jan Corneliszoon Sylvius, a preacher and relative by marriage to Rembrandt, who married the artist's cousin, Aeltje Pietersdr Uylenburgh. The etching is catalogued as Hollstein 266, H. 111, and Bartsch 33-h, with these numbers referring to the cataloging systems of different scholars who have compiled comprehensive lists of Rembrandt's prints.
The portrait is a fine example of Rembrandt's skill in capturing the character and presence of his sitters through the medium of etching. It shows Sylvius in a half-length pose, dressed in the clerical attire of the period, with a ruff around his neck and a tall, wide-brimmed hat. His expression is contemplative and serene, reflecting his profession as a preacher.
Rembrandt's use of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to detail, is evident in the intricate rendering of Sylvius's features and clothing. The etching demonstrates the artist's mastery of the medium, allowing him to achieve a wide range of tonal effects that give the image depth and texture.
"Jan Cornelius Sylvius" is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the social and cultural milieu of 17th-century Amsterdam. The portrait remains an important work within Rembrandt's oeuvre, exemplifying his profound ability to convey the humanity of his subjects.
