EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century portrait, titled "Portrait of Jean Labadie, 1622-1678," was painted by the remarkable Dutch artist Anna Maria van Schurman. The portrait depicts Jean Labadie, a French Protestant theologian and religious leader, who gained notoriety for his unconventional beliefs and practices. Jean Labadie is shown wearing a simple, dark cap and a plain, high-necked shirt, with a simple brown jacket and a white collar. His facial hair, consisting of a neatly trimmed moustache and a short beard, frames his stern, direct gaze. He is dressed in the attire of a man of the time, reflecting the fashion of the Low Countries during the 17th century. The portrait is an oil painting on copper, a technique popular during this period, and is framed in an oval shape. The use of oil on metal allowed for a rich, vibrant color palette, which is evident in the deep, earthy tones of Labadie's clothing and the subtle shading of his features. Anna Maria van Schurman, a Dutch artist and scholar, was known for her exceptional talent as a painter, particularly in the genre of miniature portraits. Her direct and unpretentious style is evident in this portrait of Jean Labadie, which captures his strong, determined character with remarkable accuracy. The portrait is an important historical artifact, as it provides a glimpse into the life of an influential religious figure during a time of religious turmoil in Europe. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Denmark, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands and Denmark during the 17th century.
