Portret van de remonstrantse predikant Johannes Brant 1675 - 1724

Christoffel Lubienitzki's "Portret van de remonstrantse predikant Johannes Brant" is an etching that portrays Johannes Brant, a prominent Remonstrant preacher from Amsterdam. The etching, created between 1675 and 1724, showcases Brant in a formal pose, dressed in a long robe and a powdered wig. He is standing in a room with a window overlooking a bookshelf, perhaps emphasizing his intellectual pursuits. The detailed depiction of Brant's features and attire highlights Lubienitzki's skill in portraiture, characteristic of the 17th century Dutch Golden Age. This artwork, currently residing in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent religious figure during a period of significant religious and intellectual change in the Netherlands.
