EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Johan Philip van der Kellen, Director of the Rijksprentenkabinet (the prints and drawings department) of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is depicted with a thoughtful expression and an air of authority. The photograph, taken by Dutch photographer Jan Veth in 1904, captures van der Kellen in the prime of his career, having served as the museum's prints and drawings director since 1876. Van der Kellen's distinguished appearance is marked by his well-groomed goatee and neatly combed beard, which were common among connoisseurs and art enthusiasts of the time. His attire, consisting of a formal suit and tie, further emphasizes his status as a respected figure in the art world. The Rijksprentenkabinet, which was established in 1808, is an integral part of the Rijksmuseum, one of the oldest and most renowned art museums in the Netherlands. Van der Kellen's tenure as its director saw significant growth and expansion, making him a pivotal figure in the preservation and promotion of the country's rich artistic heritage. This photograph is a testament to the importance of van der Kellen's contributions to the art world, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the lives and appearances of art professionals during the early 20th century. The use of black and white in the image adds to its timeless quality, making it an intriguing addition to any collection of art or historical photographs.
