Georgius Remus is a 1623 ink by Lucas Kilian, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting is a portrait of an older man with a long white beard and mustache. He is wearing a dark jacket with a high collar and a large medallion around his neck. The background is a dark, textured surface. The man's face is rendered in fine detail, with deep lines and wrinkles etched into his skin. His eyes are cast downward, giving him a contemplative appearance. The overall effect is one of quiet dignity and introspection. The painting is an example of the Baroque style, characterized by its use of dramatic lighting and intense emotions. To learn more about this style, look up the movement: Baroque.
