Jan Cornelisz Sylvius
Rembrandt1633
Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Here we see another preacher, this time Jan Cornelisz Sylvius, the father of Petrus Sylvius (at the left on this wall), who was related to Rembrandt and Saskia. He moved in their circle, attended the baptism of their first children and moreover was Saskia’s guardian. This is Rembrandt’s first formal etched portrait, and its execution is somewhat coarse.
