EDITORS COMMENTS
This well-preserved print captures the essence of Bartholomeus Breenbergh's masterpiece, "Preaching John Baptist". Created in 1634, this oil painting on wood measures 21 1/2 x 29 5/8 inches (546 x 752 cm) and showcases the Dutch artist's exceptional talent. Breenbergh was born in Deventer in 1598 and later settled in Amsterdam. He was a pioneer of Italianate landscape painting and his works often depicted biblical scenes. In this particular piece, he portrays Saint John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness. During those years, many Dutch artists sought inspiration by traveling to Rome. Breenbergh also made this journey and upon his return to the Netherlands, he employed an analogy between Protestant worship under Catholic Spain's rule to convey a powerful message through his art. The picture beautifully captures the serene yet dramatic atmosphere of Saint John's sermon amidst nature's grandeur. The lush greenery and towering trees create a picturesque backdrop for the central figure bathed in divine light. Breenbergh's attention to detail is evident as every brushstroke brings life to each element within the composition. This print allows viewers today to appreciate not only Breenbergh’s technical skill but also his ability to convey emotion through visual storytelling. Overall, this artwork serves as a testament to Breenbergh’s contribution to Dutch art history while offering us a glimpse into religious narratives during that period.
