EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Frederik Hendrik, Prince of Orange (1584-1647), a prominent figure in Dutch and European history. Painted around 1612, the portrait is attributed to Jacob Lyon (Leo Jacob, Lion Jacob, or Jacobus Pheuter), a renowned Dutch painter of the 17th century. The artwork is an oil painting on copper and showcases the prince in head and shoulders format, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. Frederik Hendrik was a significant military leader and statesman in the Dutch Republic, serving as the Stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland, and Utrecht. He played a crucial role in the Dutch War of Independence against Spain, leading to the Dutch Republic's emergence as a major European power. The portrait reveals Frederik Hendrik's regal presence, with his piercing gaze and well-groomed appearance. His attire includes a high-collared ruff, a symbol of wealth and status during the 17th century. The intricate details of the painting, such as the delicate folds of his clothing and the texture of his collar, demonstrate the exceptional skill of Jacob Lyon. This portrait is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of the Dutch Republic during the 17th century. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe.
