Getting started with the collection:
Cornelis Claesz Anslo
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1641
Cornelis Anslo was a cloth merchant and preacher in Amsterdam. Rembrandt may have met him through Saskia’s cousin, Hendrick Uylenburgh, who was a member of Anslo’s congregation. Here he gestures with his left hand, as though speaking, which naturally refers to his function as a pastor. Rembrandt detailed his hat and clothing with utmost precision.
