EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn showcases the Mennonite preacher Cornelius Claesz Anslo and his wife Aaltje Gerritsdr Shouten. Painted in 1641, this masterpiece measures 176x210 cm and is currently housed in the Gemaldegalerie, Berlin. Rembrandt's exceptional skill in capturing human emotions is evident in this painting. The couple's expressions convey a sense of deep contemplation and spiritual devotion. As they stand side by side, their connection is palpable, reflecting a strong bond between husband and wife. The religious undertones are prominent throughout the artwork. Anslo holds an open book, most likely a Bible, symbolizing his role as a Protestant preacher spreading Christian teachings to his congregation. This portrayal not only highlights the importance of religion during that era but also emphasizes the significance of faith within marriage. Rembrandt's use of color adds depth and richness to the composition.

Through his masterful brushstrokes, Rembrandt immortalizes Cornelius Claesz Anslo and Aaltje Gerritsdr Shouten for generations to come, reminding us of their unwavering commitment both to each other and their shared
