EDITORS COMMENTS
Andreas Velleius, also known as Anders Sorensen Vedel (1564-1632), was a Danish historian, antiquarian, and priest. This engraving, created by the renowned Flemish engraver Jan Wierix (1545-1612), depicts Velleius in a head and shoulders portrait. The image, executed in black and white on laid paper, captures the historian's profile with a serious and contemplative expression. The name plate below the image reads "Andreas Velleius Danus," highlighting his Danish heritage. Velleius is known for his significant contributions to Danish history, particularly his work "Danicarum Rerum Historia," a comprehensive history of Denmark. His scholarly pursuits extended beyond Danish history, as he also delved into Roman antiquities and produced works on classical literature and mythology. The engraving, a testament to the artistic and intellectual achievements of the time, is a valuable addition to any art collection or historical exhibit. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the past and the enduring influence of historical figures like Velleius on our understanding of the world. This portrait, created by Jan Wierix, is a must-see for those interested in history, art, and the intersection of the two. The intricate details of the engraving, from the lettering to the depiction of Velleius's clothing and accessories, make it a standout piece in any collection or gallery. Whether displayed in an art centre, art gallery, or personal collection, this engraving is sure to inspire curiosity and admiration for generations to come.
