EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, created by the Circle of Pieter Pietersz around 1595-1605, depicts the Company of Captain Pieter Dircksz Hasselaer and Lieutenant Jan Gerritsz Hooft in Amsterdam. The painting showcases an impressive gathering of civic guards, dressed in their finest attire, standing proudly in a grand hall. Pieter Dircksz Hasselaer, the captain, is prominently positioned at the center, wearing a richly embroidered doublet and a fur-trimmed cloak. His lieutenant, Jan Gerritsz Hooft, stands to his right, also dressed in an elegant outfit, complete with a lace-trimmed collar and a plumed hat. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the clothing in this painting offer a glimpse into the fashion trends of the Dutch Low Countries during the late 16th century. The guardsmen, all dressed in uniform, display a range of facial expressions, from serious to playful, adding depth and character to the group portrait. The painting is a testament to the importance of civic defense and the role of the guards in maintaining order and security in Amsterdam during this period. This masterpiece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a valuable heritage art piece that offers insights into the history, culture, and fashion of the Netherlands during the seventeenth century. The Circle of Pieter Pietersz, a group of skilled painters, expertly captured the essence of this Company, immortalizing their image for future generations to appreciate.
