EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts the renowned Netherlandish humanist, physician, and poet Iasonis Van Der Velde, also known as Jason Pratensis, born in Zierikzee around 1486. The image, created by Jan Maurits Quinkhard (1691-1771), showcases the intellectual and scholarly side of this remarkable figure. Pratensis, who Latinized his Dutch name by converting it into Pratensis ('of the field'), was a significant figure during the 16th century, and his influence continued into the 18th century. The portrait, which dates from around 1732 to 1771, showcases Pratensis' distinguished appearance with his serious expression, neatly trimmed beard, and elegant attire. The copperplate engraving, produced by Quinkhard, captures the intricacies of the sitter's features and the rich textures of his clothing. Pratensis was not only a skilled physician but also a prolific poet and humanist. His literary works, which included translations and commentaries on classical texts, contributed significantly to the intellectual discourse of the time. The portrait serves as a testament to his achievements and the esteem in which he was held by his contemporaries. The portrait is a valuable addition to the rich heritage of Dutch and Netherlandish art, reflecting the cultural and intellectual milieu of the Low Countries during the 16th and 17th centuries. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is home to this magnificent work, which continues to inspire and intrigue scholars and art lovers alike.
