"The Gorget: A Symbol of Power and Prestige in the 17th Century" In the iconic painting "The Night Watch" by Rembrandt, we catch a glimpse of a distinguished figure wearing a gorget. This metal collar, worn around the neck, was not only a fashion statement but also held significant meaning during this era. Elisabeth of France, Queen consort of Spain, can be seen in her regal portrait donning an exquisite gorget. It symbolized her status and authority as she played an influential role in European politics. Marie de Medici, Queen of France, chose to immortalize herself with a gorget adorning her elegant attire. This accessory reflected her power and position as she navigated through the complexities of court life. Even renowned Spanish novelist Miguel de Cervantes recognized the allure of the gorget. Though primarily known for his literary contributions, he too understood its significance as he posed for his portrait wearing this emblematic piece. Hernan Cortes, depicted in an engraving colored to perfection, proudly wore his gorget while conquering new lands. It served as both protection and representation of his military prowess during these expeditions. Nature itself embraced this symbol when Costas Hummingbird perched upon a yellow desert flower. The vibrant colors mirrored those found on ornate gorgers worn by nobility - nature's own tribute to their grandeur. Anne of Austria radiated elegance in Alonso Sanchez Coello's portrayal where she sported an intricately designed gorget. As queen consort to King Philip II of Spain, it accentuated her grace and elevated her presence at court events. Luis de Requesens y Zuniga showcased his military might with pride through his choice to wear a strikingly detailed gorget. As Governor-General of the Netherlands under Spanish rule, it embodied strength and authority throughout his reign.
