Portrait of Salomon Rendorp, Brewer in Amsterdam 1793

Johann Friedrich August Tischbein’s 1793 “Portrait of Salomon Rendorp, Brewer in Amsterdam” is a classic example of Neoclassical portraiture. The painting depicts Salomon Rendorp, a prominent brewer in Amsterdam, in a formal and dignified pose, highlighting his status and importance. The work is characterized by its realistic portrayal of the sitter, detailed brushwork, and the use of a muted palette. The painting’s oval frame, common in portraiture of the period, adds to the sense of formality and grandeur. The painting is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
