EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of a Man in an Arm Chair," was created by the Dutch artist Christian Josi in 1821. The image is a part of Josi's collection "Collection d'imitations de Dessins d'apres les Principaux Maitres Hollandais et Flamands," which translates to "Collection of Imitations after the Principal Masters of the Dutch and Flemish." The man in the portrait is depicted in a relaxed pose, seated in an arched armchair, dressed in beige and black clothing. He wears a collared cloak draped over his shoulders and a hat resting on the chair next to him. The man's gaze is directed away from the viewer, adding an air of mystery to the piece. The portrait was created as a soft ground etching on paper, a technique popular during the 19th century. The intricate details of the man's clothing and the texture of the armchair are beautifully captured in the etching. The use of black colour adds depth and contrast to the beige tones of the man's outfit and the chair. The influence of the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn is evident in this portrait, with the use of chiaroscuro and the strong lighting that highlights the man's features. However, Josi's interpretation of Rembrandt's style is unique, showcasing his own artistic flair. This portrait is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the 19th century and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors.
