Portret van Adam Rechenberg 1713

Martin Bernigeroth's 1713 engraving, "Portret van Adam Rechenberg," depicts Adam Rechenberg, a prominent theologian, in a bust-length portrait. Rechenberg's long, flowing wig and serious expression convey his scholarly status. The inscription below the portrait identifies him as a professor of theology at the University of Leipzig. This engraving, part of a series of portraits of notable figures, offers a glimpse into the academic world of early 18th-century Germany. The piece is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
