EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century Baroque portrait, painted by Jan Maurits Quinkhard in 1731, depicts Walter Senserff, the esteemed Director of the Rotterdam Chamber of the Dutch East India Company. Senserff was elected to this prestigious position in the same year that this portrait was created. The painting is a testament to the power and influence of the Dutch East India Company during the Rococo era in Europe. Quinkhard expertly captures the dignity and authority of Senserff, as he gazes intently out at the viewer with a confident expression. The Director is depicted wearing a wig and a richly textured, velvet robe, adorned with intricate gold embroidery. The use of vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes adds to the grandeur and opulence of the painting. The Dutch East India Company, also known as the United East India Company or the VOC, was a powerful trading organization that played a significant role in the global spice trade during the 17th and 18th centuries. The company's influence extended far beyond the Netherlands, reaching as far as Asia and the Americas. This portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a valuable piece of heritage art that provides a glimpse into the lives of the powerful men who shaped the economic and political landscape of Europe during the Baroque and Rococo eras. The intricate details of the painting, from the rich textures of Senserff's robe to the delicate folds of his wig, serve as a reminder of the grandeur and opulence of this era in European history.
