EDITORS COMMENTS
André Rivet, a prominent Huguenot theologian and scholar from France, is depicted in this striking black and white portrait by Dutch artist Jonas Suyderhoef, created in the seventeenth century. The oval-shaped image, engraved on cream paper, captures Rivet's introspective gaze and the intricate details of his attire. Rivet wears a simple, high-necked shirt, a long, flowing coat, and a skullcap, typical of the modest dress code of the Protestant faith during the Dutch Golden Age. The lettering at the bottom of the print reads "Andreas Rivetus," adding a formal touch to the portrait. Rivet's headgear, a skullcap, is a distinctive feature of the portrait, reflecting his adherence to the Protestant faith. The cap, also known as a "pileus," was a common headcovering for Protestant men during this period, signifying their commitment to their religious beliefs. The intricate engraving on the print further highlights the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the time. The portrait of André Rivet is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Low Countries during the seventeenth century. It offers a glimpse into the fashion and social norms of the time, as well as the religious and intellectual climate that shaped the lives of individuals like Rivet. The portrait is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
