EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, entitled "Portrait of Gillis van Breen," is a masterpiece created by the renowned Dutch artist Hendrik Goltzius in the late 16th century, around 1588. The subject of the portrait is Gillis van Breen, a man of the Low Countries, likely of the occupations of Claes van Breen or Nicolaes Breen. The portrait is a chiaroscuro woodcut, printed in black ochre and brown, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill in manipulating light and shadow. Gillis van Breen gazes directly at the viewer with an unwavering intensity, his piercing eyes seemingly reaching out from the page. The monochrome palette, reminiscent of sepia tones, adds to the timeless quality of the image. The portrait's intricate details, from the texture of the subject's beard to the folds of his clothing, are a testament to Goltzius's mastery of the medium. This portrait is an important work of art from the Netherlands Europe during the sixteenth century, a time when portraiture was a popular means of recording the likenesses of individuals of importance. The portrait is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate audiences and inspire admiration for the artistry of Hendrik Goltzius.
