EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of a Gentleman" takes us back to the early 17th century. Painted with meticulous detail on an oil panel by an anonymous Dutch artist from the 17th century, this masterpiece measures 99x75 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The subject of the painting remains unidentified, but there are intriguing clues that suggest he may be none other than Willem Janz Blaeu, a renowned cartographer who lived from 1571 to 1638. The lightly drawn inscription on the artwork reads "Aetatis 38" (aged 38) and "Ao" hinting at his age at the time. Furthermore, the celestial globe featured in the portrait was crafted by Blaeu himself in 1602. In this three-quarter length portrayal, we see a distinguished gentleman dressed in a black jerkin adorned with a white ruff collar. His gaze is direct and confident as he stands beside his prized possessions: a compass and map—a testament to his expertise as a cartographer. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured this remarkable print of "Portrait of a Gentleman". With its rich historical context and masterful execution, it serves as both an artistic marvel and an intriguing glimpse into the life of possibly one of history's greatest cartographers.
