Portrait of an Oriental Man, 1660, by Aert de Gelder Date: 17th century Creator: Aert de Gelder (Dutch, 1645-1675) Description: This stunning portrait, created by the Dutch artist Aert de Gelder in 1660, captures the enigmatic presence of an Oriental man. The sitter wears an elaborate headdress adorned with gold and precious stones, a turban that is a symbol of his Eastern heritage. His clothing, richly colored and intricately patterned, further emphasizes his exotic origin. The man's intense gaze, set against the dark background, adds an air of mystery and intrigue. Artistic Style: This portrait is an excellent example of the Baroque era's fascination with the Orient. Aert de Gelder masterfully employs the use of oil paint to bring out the vibrant colors and intricate details of the sitter's clothing and headdress. The painting's composition, with the sitter's head slightly tilted and his body slightly turned, adds a sense of depth and dimension to the artwork. Provenance: The National Gallery of Denmark, Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark, is the current location of this painting. It is a significant addition to the museum's collection of Dutch and Flemish art from the 17th century. Historical Context: The 17th century was a time of increased interaction between Europe and the East, leading to a growing fascination with Eastern culture and people. This fascination is reflected in the art of the period, as seen in this portrait by Aert de Gelder. The painting's exotic subject matter and rich colors would have been highly desirable to collectors of the time, making it an important piece of both artistic and historical significance.
