EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print captures the essence of Jan Wagenaar, the esteemed City Historian of Amsterdam. With a scholarly air and an aura of wisdom, Wagenaar sits in full-length pose at a table adorned with letters, documents, books, and an ink set. His right hand holds a letter, perhaps indicating his dedication to research and writing. The scene is filled with intellectual richness as more books are scattered on a nearby chair and floor. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. Hanging proudly on the wall behind him is Cornelis Anthonisz's map of Amsterdam, symbolizing Wagenaar's deep connection to the city's history. Painted by Tibout Regters in 1761 using oil paint on canvas, this artwork not only showcases Wagenaar's physical appearance but also pays homage to his significant contributions as an Amsterdam city history writer. It serves as a reminder of his passion for preserving and documenting the rich heritage that shaped this vibrant metropolis. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the dedication and commitment that Jan Wagenaar poured into his work. This portrait immortalizes him as one of Amsterdam's most revered historians whose legacy continues to inspire generations today.
