Waar haalt France Culture het vandaan: "Portrait de Baruch #Spinoza par Rembrandt"

[Misschien van hier? Misschien omdat de afgebeelde een vergrootglas in z'n hand heeft?]

Het schilderij wordt meestal omschreven als:
Rembrandt, Man with a magnifying glass, c. 1660. Het is nu in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

 

Het MetMuseum schrijft erbij: "This portrait most likely depicts the Amsterdam auctioneer Pieter Haringh (1609–1685), who once handled the sale of a famous portrait by the Italian Renaissance master Raphael that served Rembrandt as a source of inspiration. The sitter may have used the magnifying glass in his hand to evaluate paintings and other luxury goods circulating on the busy Amsterdam art market. Like his wife in the pendant portrait also on view here, the sitter wears a form of fancy dress that has little to do with Dutch clothing worn at the time." [Cf.]
