Acquaforte e bulino, 1635, firmata e datata in lastra in alto, a puntasecca: Rembrandt ft 1635; sotto l’ovale l’iscrizione Quem pia miarari plebes, quem castra solebant, / damnare et mores aula coacta suos. Jactatus multum, nec tantum fructus ab anni / WTENBOGARDUS sic tuus, Haga redit. HGrotius. (La corte secolare fu costretta a condannare sia l’uomo tanto ammirato, sia le sue convinzioni. L’Aja, il tuo Uytenbogaert ritorna a te dopo lungo errare, provato solo dagli anni. Ugo Grozio). Esemplare nel V stato di VI, con i margini della lastra ripuliti. Magnifica prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva priva di filigrana, rifilata al rame, leggere ossidazioni in basso, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione. Il ritratto raffigurato è quello del predicatore Johannes Uytenbogaert (1577-1644), all’età di settantotto anni. Personaggio illustre ed assai influente del tempo, divenne il leader della Rimostranza, una corrente liberale della chiesa calvinista che formalizzava la dottrina di Arminio. Al Concilio di Dort (1618- 1619) la Rimostranza fu condannata e i seguaci perseguitati: Uytenbogaert fu costretto all’esilio, per porter far ritorno all’Aja solo nel 1629. La didascalia di Grozio - a sua volta appartenente alla fazione dei rimostranti e esiliato nel 1635 – non si limita a rievocare questi eventi, ma intende sottolineare il ritorno di Uytenbogaert a L'Aja. È probabile che il ritratto sia ordinato per diffonderne le stampe fra gli amici e gli estimatori dell'anziano pastore. Potrebbe essere lo stesso Uy- tenbogaert a commissionarlo, ma non è detto. Due anni prima Rembrandt lo ritrae in un dipinto, su richiesta di Abraham Antonisz. Recht, un mercante favorevole ai rimostranti. In quella occasione Uytenbogaert posa per Rembrandt, mentre per l'acquaforte non è sicuro che ciò sia avvenuto: infatti, nelle due opere il viso dell'uomo è rappresentato in modo quasi identico, perfino nelle ciocche di capelli che sfuggono dallo zucchetto. Per la testa, Rembrandt deve essere partito da un disegno oggi perduto. Esemplare in cornice dorata settecentesca. Bibliografia Hind 128; Bartsch 279; White & Boon 279, V/VI; E. Hinterding, Rembrandt, Dipinti, incisioni e riflessi sul ‘600 e ‘700 italiano, p.120, 26. Etching and engraving, 1635, signed and dated at upper edge Rembrandt ft 1635. Inscribed in Latin beneath the image: Quem pia miarari plebes, quem castra solebant, / damnare et mores aula coacta suos. Jactatus multum, nec tantum fructus ab anni / WTENBOGARDUS sic tuus, Haga redit. HGrotius. Example of the fifth state of six. Magnificent work, printed on contemporary laid paper without watermark, closely trimmed to the platemark, light oxidations at lower part, otherwise in good condition. Johannes Uytenbogaert (1557-1644), an important political and theological figure of the period , was a leader of the Dutch Remonstrants and a former chaplain to Maurice, Prince of Orange. Following the views of Jacobus Arminius, the Remonstrants presented to the States-General in 1610 a 'Remonstrance', setting forth their points of divergence from stricter Calvinism. Attacked on all sides, they were expelled from the Netherlands by the Protestant Synod of Dort (1618-19), which declared Remonstrant theology contrary to Scripture. Allowed back in the Netherlands by 1630, they were officially recognised in 1798. The inscription, in Latin, is far more extensive than in Rembrandt's other prints, and was composed by the leading Remonstrant Hugo de Groot - a Remonstrant still in exile in 1635. It alludes to Wtenbogaert's piety and court service, as well as his 'comeback' to the Hague in 1629. Rembrandt had previously depicted Uytenbogaert in a painting of 1633, in which the minister stands before a table and a large opened book (the portrait survives in the Rijksmuseum).
