Image Information
Anna Maria van Schurman engraved this portrait of Gisbertus Voetius, the theologian who took her under his wing at Utrecht University. The Latin inscription at the bottom reads: “Look, the face of a son of Voetius for you under a calm image: / The line also marks his divine character. / If you desire more: the image of [sc. his] virtue is alive, / Which [virtue] he himself expresses in his life and writings.” (Translation by Katherine Owensby, 2019)
