Context:

Lucas van Uffel (died 1637) was a wealthy Flemish merchant and shipowner who lived in Venice, where he met Van Dyck during the early years of the painter's Italian period (1621-27). Van Dyck's portrait of the same man (Städtisches Museum, Brunswick) includes a view of ships sailing off a Mediterranean coast. Here, the sitter is presented as a learned gentleman, with dividers, a recorder, the bow of a viola da gamba, an antique head, a drawing, and a celestial globe suggesting his various interests. The canvas was first recorded in the collection of the Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel in the 1730s.
