Portrait of a scientist by Ferdinand Bol

Ferdinand Bol is a Dutch artist and graphic artist, a pupil of Rembrandt, who has mastered the techniques of his picturesque manner, and as a result many of Bol’s works were erroneously attributed to the master. Almost nothing is known about the circumstances of Bol’s life. He became famous for his portrait genre and is rightly considered one of the best Dutch portrait painters.

“Portrait of a scientist” stands out with a cozy warm brown scale, reminiscent of amber stones. An elderly man with a beard in thought rears his head with his hand. Behind him on the table are the attributes of the researcher – the globe and books in thick bindings. The scientist, whose face resembles a Russian boyar, is immersed in his thoughts, pondering future discoveries.
