{"product_id":"portret-van-hadrianus-junius-cornelis-koning","title":"Portret van Hadrianus Junius - Cornelis Koning","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed seventeenth-century engraving of the Dutch physician Hadrianus Junius, captured in profile with scholarly attire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Cornelis Koning depicts the Dutch physician, historian, and humanist Hadrianus Junius. The subject is presented in profile, facing right, within an oval frame that includes Latin inscriptions. Junius wears a cap and a heavy fur-trimmed garment, typical of the academic and professional attire of the sixteenth-century intellectual elite. The precision of the line work captures the texture of the fur and the subtle contours of the face, demonstrating the technical proficiency required for copperplate engraving during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition follows the conventions of humanist portraiture, where the sitter is identified not only by their likeness but also by the inclusion of heraldic elements and scholarly attributes. The Latin text surrounding the oval and the additional verses at the base provide context regarding the subject's identity and his standing within the academic community. The inclusion of a horn emblem at the bottom serves as a visual reference to his name, a common practice in Renaissance portraiture to reinforce the identity of the sitter through symbolic puns or visual metaphors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCornelis Koning, active in the mid-seventeenth century, produced this work as a record of a figure who had passed away shortly before the print's creation. The engraving reflects the sober, analytical approach to portraiture that was common in the Netherlands, where the focus remained on the clarity of form and the accurate representation of the individual. The use of cross-hatching and varied line weights creates a sense of volume and depth, despite the inherent flatness of the print medium. This piece offers a clear view into the visual culture of the Dutch Golden Age, where the dissemination of portraits of scholars and public figures was a standard method for documenting intellectual history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-virtues-perseverantia-cornelis-cort\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Virtues: Perseverantia - Cornelis Cort — Cornelis Cort\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/arabische-hoofdman-en-ruiter-abraham-de-bruyn\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eArabische hoofdman en ruiter - Abraham de Bruyn — Abraham de Bruyn\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cornelis Koning","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58791266189647,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58791270908239,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58791270941007,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58791270973775,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58791271006543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58791271039311,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58791271072079,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58791271104847,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58791271137615,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58791271170383,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58791271203151,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58791271235919,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portret-van-Hadrianus-Junius_Poster_CompositorV1_1789497806308.jpg?v=1789498384","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/portret-van-hadrianus-junius-cornelis-koning","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
