"History has not been kind to Jan Lievens (1607-1674). A child prodigy – whose talent was prized by connoisseurs and collectors in his native Leiden during his teenage years, whose services were sought by princely patrons in The Hague and London before he reached age twenty-five, and who later in life continued to receive important religious, civic, and portrait commissions in Antwerp, Amsterdam, and Berlin – Lievens barely registers today in the public consciousness."
– from notes to a 2009 Lievens retrospective organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, in association with the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Rembrandt House Museum, Amsterdam
