The portrait follows the conventions of academic and clerical iconography common to the period. The subject is presented in a bust-length format, wearing a plain doublet and a wide, flat collar, which identifies him as a man of learning and status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technique employed is typical of mid-seventeenth-century printmaking. The artist uses a system of parallel hatching and cross-hatching to define the contours of the face, the texture of the hair, and the folds of the clothing. The lines are precise, creating a sense of volume and shadow that gives the figure a three-dimensional presence against the neutral background. The inscription at the base identifies the sitter and his academic titles, a standard practice for portrait prints intended for inclusion in books or as independent commemorative sheets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohann Hoffmann, active as a publisher and printmaker in Nuremberg, produced this work to document the appearance of notable figures of the era. The composition is restrained, focusing entirely on the character of the sitter. The lack of decorative elements ensures that the viewer's attention remains fixed on the facial features, which are rendered with a degree of psychological realism. This print provides a clear example of how portraiture functioned as a tool for disseminating the likeness of intellectuals across Europe. It remains a valuable historical record of the academic community in the seventeenth century, capturing the austere aesthetic favoured by scholars of the time.\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=\"\/es\/products\/portrait-of-john-kersey-william-faithorne\" 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;\"\u003ePortrait of John Kersey by William Faithorne\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/products\/portret-van-josephus-scaliger-johann-theodor-de-bry\" 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;\"\u003ePortret van Josephus Scaliger by Johann Theodor de Bry\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johann Hoffmann","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59102141645135,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59102143807823,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59102143840591,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59102143873359,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59102143906127,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59102143938895,"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":59102143971663,"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":59102144004431,"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":59102144037199,"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":59102144069967,"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":59102144102735,"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":59102144135503,"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-Matthias-Pasor_Poster_CompositorV1_1791864373543.jpg?v=1791864662","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/es\/products\/portret-van-matthias-pasor-johann-hoffmann","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
