EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of V. Cordus," was published in 1574 by the enigmatic figure, Johannes Sambucus. The image, a masterpiece from the 16th century, is a monochromatic etching and engraving on cream laid paper. The subject of the portrait is Valerius Cordus, a renowned botanist, pharmacologist, and physician from Flanders, Belgium. Cordus is depicted in head and shoulders format, dressed in the attire of the time, with a serious and contemplative expression. The portrait is framed by intricate lettering in Latin script, which reads "Valerius Cordus, Flandrensis." The portrait is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 16th century, showcasing the artistic and intellectual achievements of the time. It is a fascinating depiction of a man whose contributions to medicine and botany were groundbreaking, and whose influence extended beyond the borders of his native Flanders. This etching and engraving is a rare and valuable addition to any art collection, with its intricate detail and historical significance. It is a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture the essence of a person and preserve it for future generations. The portrait is currently on exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world.
