Portret van Johannes van Neercassel 1664 - 1721

This 17th-century engraving by Jan van Munnickhuysen is a portrait of Johannes van Neercassel, Bishop of Castoriensis. The image depicts the bishop in a seated position, dressed in elaborate robes, with a cross and two fish symbols (likely representing Christianity) in the background. The detail and inscription in the artwork suggest that it was intended as a formal and commemorative piece, likely commissioned to honor the Bishop. This portrait, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of 17th-century Dutch portraiture and provides a glimpse into the life of a prominent religious figure.
