EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait, created by the Dutch artist Nicolaes Van Borculo in 1627, captures the likeness of Henricus van Zijl, a man of great distinction during the Dutch Golden Age. The portrait is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the Baroque era, with its rich colors and intricate details. Henricus van Zijl, born in 1545, is depicted here as an elderly man with a full, well-groomed beard. His attire reflects the fashion of the time, with a bariolle suit made of alternating stripes of different colors. The suit is trimmed with fur, adding to its luxurious appearance. A neck ruff, a popular accessory during the Baroque era, frames his neck and adds a touch of elegance to the portrait. The portrait is painted on copper using oil, a technique commonly used during the Dutch Golden Age. The use of oil on copper allowed for a high level of detail and vibrant colors, making the portrait a visual feast for the eyes. Henricus van Zijl's portrait is a valuable piece of heritage art, showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of the Netherlands during the 17th century. The Rijksmuseum, one of the most renowned museums in Europe, is home to this masterpiece, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The portrait of Henricus van Zijl is a reminder of the grandeur and elegance of the Baroque era, a time when art and fashion were at their finest. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Dutch history, art, or fashion, and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Dutch Golden Age.
