{"product_id":"daniel-heinsius-jan-lievens","title":"Daniel Heinsius - Jan Lievens","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed etching by Jan Lievens depicting the Dutch scholar Daniel Heinsius, showcasing the technical precision of seventeenth-century portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching depicts the Dutch scholar and philologist Daniel Heinsius. Jan Lievens, a contemporary and associate of Rembrandt in Leiden, demonstrates his technical proficiency in printmaking through the varied application of line and shadow. The subject is presented in a half-length pose, wearing a fur-trimmed garment that suggests his status and academic standing. His hand rests upon a surface, while his gaze is directed away from the viewer, conveying a sense of intellectual preoccupation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is defined by the contrast between the textured rendering of the fur and the smoother, more delicate treatment of the facial features. Lievens employs a range of hatching techniques to model the form of the sitter, creating a sense of volume and physical presence. The inclusion of a Latin inscription at the base of the print provides context regarding the identity of the sitter and the roles of the artist and publisher, Martinus van den Enden. This work reflects the conventions of seventeenth-century portraiture, where the sitter is often accompanied by attributes of their profession or social rank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLievens was known for his ability to capture the character of his subjects, and this portrait is no exception. The lines are precise, allowing for a clear definition of the facial structure and the folds of the clothing. The background remains relatively simple, ensuring that the focus remains on the figure of Heinsius. As a print, this piece offers insight into the dissemination of portraiture during the Dutch Golden Age, where such works were collected by scholars and admirers of the arts. The print remains a clear example of the technical standards achieved by Dutch printmakers during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/duinlandschap-bij-haarlem-carel-nicolaas-storm-van-s-gravesande\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDuinlandschap bij Haarlem - Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande — Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/simon-of-cyrene-helps-christ-carry-the-cross-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSimon of Cyrene Helps Christ Carry the Cross - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan Lievens","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491389804879,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491391312207,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491391344975,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491391377743,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491391410511,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491391443279,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491391476047,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491391508815,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491391541583,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491391574351,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491391607119,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491391639887,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Daniel-Heinsius_Poster_CompositorV1_1786378481064.jpg?v=1786922111","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/daniel-heinsius-jan-lievens","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
