1574 1646 Anthony Dyck Dyke Historian Scholar Puteanus
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Erycius Puteanus (1574-1646), a renowned Dutch scholar and historian. Born in the Netherlands, Puteanus made significant contributions to the fields of history and classical studies during the 16th and 17th centuries. The image, skillfully captured by the renowned artist Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641), showcases Puteanus in a thoughtful and introspective pose, reflecting his deep intellectual pursuits. The scholar's attire, consisting of a richly textured robe and a simple cap, adds to his scholarly appearance. Puteanus was a prolific writer and editor, producing numerous works on various historical and classical subjects. He is best known for his edition of the works of the ancient Roman historian Livy, which was widely used in Europe during the early modern period. His other major works include commentaries on Virgil and Tacitus, as well as a history of the Dutch Republic. Despite his Dutch origins, Puteanus spent much of his career in Italy, where he was a member of the Accademia dei Lincei, a prestigious intellectual society. His extensive knowledge of Latin and Greek literature, as well as his familiarity with ancient sources, made him a valuable asset to the scholarly community in Italy and beyond. This portrait of Erycius Puteanus offers a glimpse into the life of a brilliant and influential scholar, whose work continues to shape our understanding of the past. Van Dyck's masterful depiction captures both the intellectual depth and the human warmth of this remarkable figure.
