EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Peter Scriverius, a prominent figure during the Dutch Golden Age, as depicted in Cornelis de Visscher's engraving titled "Quatuor Personae" from 1649. Scriverius, also known as Petrus Scriverius or Petrus Schrijverius, was a renowned scholar, historian, and author from the Low Countries. His scholarly pursuits spanned various fields, including literature and education. In this striking image, Scriverius is shown dressed in the fashionable attire of the 17th century. He wears a high-collared cloak, a voluminous shirt, and a simple hat, all typical of the era. The intricate lettering and handwriting in the background suggest the presence of books and scholarly texts, further emphasizing Scriverius's intellectual pursuits. Cornelis de Visscher, the creator of this print, was a skilled engraver and etcher, known for his meticulous attention to detail. This particular print, etched and engraved on cream laid paper, showcases the artist's mastery of the medium. The monochromatic palette adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to the era of the Dutch Golden Age. Scriverius's occupation as a scholar and historian is evident in this portrait, which serves as a testament to the intellectual and cultural heritage of the Netherlands during this period. The print is a valuable addition to any art collection, providing a glimpse into the fashion, history, and intellectual pursuits of the 17th century.
