Painting Description
"Portrait of Jacob III de Gheyn" is a renowned artwork by the eminent Dutch painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, commonly known as Rembrandt. Created in 1632, this oil on panel painting is one of a pair of portraits featuring the engraver and art collector Jacob de Gheyn III (1596–1641) and his friend, the scholar and poet Maurits Huygens. The latter portrait is known as "Portrait of Maurits Huygens."
The painting of Jacob de Gheyn III measures 29.9 cm by 24.9 cm and is part of a series that is often referred to as the "Rembrandt's pendants," which were a common form of commissioned works during the Dutch Golden Age. These pendants typically depicted the patron and a friend or relative, intended to be displayed together. The portrait of De Gheyn is particularly notable for its exquisite detail and the lifelike representation of the sitter, which exemplifies Rembrandt's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the psychological depth and individuality of his subjects.
The "Portrait of Jacob III de Gheyn" is distinguished by its intimate scale and the direct gaze of the sitter, which engages the viewer in a silent dialogue. De Gheyn is depicted against a dark background, which serves to highlight the intricate lace collar and the delicate features of his face. The painting's provenance includes a history of ownership by various collectors and has been the subject of several thefts, making it one of the most stolen paintings in history. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London.
This portrait, along with its pendant, is considered an important work in Rembrandt's oeuvre, offering insight into the artist's portraiture style during the 1630s, a period marked by his rising fame and the establishment of his reputation as one of the leading portraitists of his time. The "Portrait of Jacob III de Gheyn" continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and the emotional resonance it evokes, securing its place as a significant piece in the history of art.
