Portret van Cornelis Hassaeus 1643 - 1676

"Portret van Cornelis Hassaeus" is an etching created by Dutch artist Theodor Matham between 1643 and 1676. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum and depicts Cornelis Hassaeus in a formal portrait setting, likely commissioned for a commemorative print. Hassaeus, holding a small crucifix, is positioned within an oval frame, while Latin inscriptions surrounding the image provide biographical details. This piece exemplifies Matham's mastery of printmaking and offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure of the 17th century.
