EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed Peter Gillis, a prominent figure in Antwerp during the Northern Renaissance. Painted by Massys or Matsys, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 59x46 cm and is housed in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, Belgium. Peter Gillis was not only known for his role as town clerk of Antwerp but also for his close friendships with influential figures such as Metsijs, Erasmus, and Thomas More. This copy of the portrait can be found at Lord Radnor's collection at Longford Castle in Salisbury. The image captures Gillis' intellectual prowess and scholarly nature. Dressed in a black gown with a fur collar, he exudes wisdom and sophistication. With a cap perched atop his head and holding a scroll, it is evident that education played an integral part in his life. Surrounded by books and textbooks neatly arranged on shelves behind him, this painting symbolizes Gillis' dedication to learning. The half-length composition allows us to focus on his expressive face while still appreciating the intricate details of his robe. Bridgeman Images has beautifully reproduced this artwork from Fine Art Finder without any commercial use intended. It serves as a reminder of Peter Gillis' significant contributions to society during one of history's most transformative periods - the Northern Renaissance.
