Caption

Admiral van Tromp, from the picture by Rembrandt in the late exhibition of Old Masters, Burlington House, 1876. Engraving of a painting. 'Under the great name of Rembrandt there is but little altogether, and nothing of first-rate technical importance. Rembrandt's art does not show to special advantage in the kit-kat of Admiral Van Tromp...although the burly, strongly-marked head might seem well-suited to the sturdy painter. Van Tromp - whose brave, bluff face it is surely a pleasure to look upon, though he frightened our ancestors so shamefully - was, it appears, a Dutchman of the old style, not like the sallow, shrunken, fever-stricken, average modern Hollander'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
