Negen portretten van Griekse geleerden 1581 - 1633

"Negen portretten van Griekse geleerden" (Nine portraits of Greek scholars) is a collection of engravings by Theodoor Galle, a Flemish artist known for his prints, and was created between 1581 and 1633. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The piece, which depicts the faces of nine prominent Greek scholars in a grid-like format, is a testament to the influence of Greek culture on Renaissance Europe. Each portrait is accompanied by a Latin inscription that details the individual's life and contributions. This print is a valuable historical artifact that captures the spirit of humanist scholarship during a time when Greek thought was being rediscovered and reinterpreted.
