Pieter de, a renowned artist of the 17th century, captured the essence of royalty and everyday life in his magnificent works. In Plate 35, we witness Philip of Spain transformed into Neptune, commanding attention as he rides in a chariot drawn by two majestic sea horses. The power and grandeur emanating from this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Moving on to another masterpiece, The Three Graces painted around 1630-74 showcases De Jode's ability to depict elegance and beauty. These three enchanting figures exude gracefulness and harmony that captivate the viewer's gaze. In contrast to these ethereal subjects, De Jode also delved into portraying ordinary life with Three Peasants and a Woman from 1626. This painting transports us to simpler times where hardworking peasants engage in their daily activities while a woman stands amidst them, adding an intriguing dynamic. Continuing with his fascination for The Three Graces theme, De Jode created yet another stunning rendition between 1630-45. Here again, he captures the allure of these mythical goddesses who symbolize charm, joy, and creativity. Shifting gears towards religious artistry, De Jode presents us with The Holy Family at right along with the infant Saint John the Baptist alongside Elizabeth and Zacharias. This poignant portrayal evokes feelings of devotion as we witness this sacred family unit surrounded by divine light. De Jode's talent extends beyond capturing people; he also excels at portraiture as seen in his Portrait of Isabella Clara Eugenia Infanta of Spain circa 1650. With meticulous brushstrokes and attention to detail, he immortalizes Isabella's regal presence for generations to admire. Taking a whimsical turn in A Fool with an Owl and a Woman at a Window from the 17th century shows De Jode's versatility as an artist. Through this composition filled with humor and curiosity, he invites us to explore the complexities of human nature.
