EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of brotherly love and familial bond. Titled "Lucas and Cornelius van Wael, 1646" this masterpiece was created by the talented artist Wenceslaus Hollar in the 17th century. The subjects of this portrait are Lucas and Cornelius van Wael, two Bohemian brothers who were known for their remarkable fashion sense. Dressed in exquisite clothing with intricately designed collars, these Flemish siblings exude elegance and sophistication. Their facial hair adds a touch of masculinity to their refined appearance. The attention to detail is evident not only in their attire but also in every line etched by Hollar's skilled hand. The fabric used for their garments showcases the rich heritage art of Flanders, while delicate lace accents enhance their regal aura. This portrait transports us back in time to an era when style was as important as substance. Captured against a simple backdrop, Lucas and Cornelius emanate confidence and pride in their noble lineage. Their expressions reflect a deep connection between brothers that transcends time. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork stands as a testament to Hollar's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the essence of family ties through his masterful etching technique. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, portraits can still evoke emotions within viewers who appreciate both history and artistry alike.
