Jan Anthonisz. van Ravesteyn is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.

Dutch portrait painter Jan Anthonisz. van Ravesteyn made stiff-collared men in black hats look natural. His Miehen muotokuva shows a calm man in a dark coat with a white ruff, and the metalwork Maria Odilia Buys frames a woman’s lace collar in silver. These portraits belong to the late 1500s Dutch tradition, when artists turned everyday faces into lasting images.

Tap his Maria Odilia Buys to see how silver and paint both caught the light of the time.
