Corneille Jansenius, Bishop of Ypres is a 1625 ink by Jean Morin, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait features a man with a pointed hat and a dark robe, set against a plain background. The subject's face is turned to the right, with his head slightly tilted upwards. His attire is formal, with a high collar and a cloak draped over his shoulders. The image is rendered in a detailed, realistic style, with intricate textures and shading that give the subject a sense of depth and dimensionality. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. For more information on this style of portraiture, explore the Baroque movement.
Jean Morin (c.1595 or 1605 – 1650) was a French baroque painter, printmaker, painter, etcher, engraver and publisher.
