EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning "Portrait of Hendrik van der Borcht" created in 1817 by James Girtin. The etching, tinted with delicate hues, captures the essence of this esteemed German painter, draughtsman, and printmaker from the seventeenth century. Hendrik van der Borcht was a talented artist who served Thomas Howard, the 2nd Earl of Arundel, and became the keeper of his collections in London. Unfortunately, he likely succumbed to the plague in 1666. It is worth noting that this caption mistakenly refers to his father. The image itself is an exquisite example of Girtin's skill as an engraver. Within a decorative border, he masterfully brings to life Wenceslaus Hollar's original engraving. This particular portrait is part of John Girtin's collection titled "Seventy-Five Portraits of Celebrated Painters from Authentic Originals" published in London in 1817 by J. M Creery. The print transports us back to the early seventeenth century when Van der Borcht flourished as an artist. It offers a glimpse into German culture during this period and highlights how art played a significant role within society. Displayed against a neutral background with impeccable lighting and clarity, this Fine Art Finder print allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Bridgeman Images.
