EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the intellectual and devout spirit of Johannes Bogerman (1576-1637), a Dutch scholar and translator of significant importance in the history of the Bible. Bogerman dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge and the dissemination of the Word of God. Born in the Netherlands, Bogerman studied theology at the University of Leiden and became a member of the Dutch Reformed Church. His deep commitment to the Bible and his fluency in multiple languages, including Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, made him an ideal candidate for the daunting task of translating the Holy Scriptures. The year 1637 marked the completion of Bogerman's magnum opus: a Dutch translation of the Bible that would become the standard version for the Dutch Reformed Church. This translation, known as the "Statenvertaling" or "Translation of the States," was widely used until the late 19th century. The image of Bogerman, captured in this elegant print, conveys the gravity and determination of a man deeply committed to his faith and his work. He is depicted with a serious expression, his hands resting on a stack of books, symbolizing his vast knowledge and the importance of the task he undertook. The intricate details of his clothing and the rich textures of the fabric and the background add depth and character to the portrait. Bogerman's translation of the Bible played a crucial role in the religious and cultural development of the Dutch people, and his legacy continues to be celebrated in the Netherlands and beyond. This print serves as a testament to his enduring impact and the importance of the written word in shaping history.
