EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished portrait of Cornelis van den Bergh, the esteemed Director of the Rotterdam Chamber of the Dutch East India Company. Elected in 1659 and chosen for his exceptional leadership skills, Van den Bergh's bust is elegantly depicted within an oval frame on this canvas. This artwork forms part of a remarkable series that commemorates the governors of the Rotterdam Chamber at the renowned New East Indian House from 1698, situated at Boompjes in Rotterdam. Painted by Pieter van der Werff between 1695 and 1722, this oil masterpiece measures approximately 82 cm in height and 68 cm in width. The artist skillfully captures Van den Bergh's dignified presence and commanding aura through intricate brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The significance of this portrait lies not only in its artistic excellence but also as a testament to Van den Bergh's pivotal role within one of history's most influential trading companies – the Dutch East India Company. With its rich historical context, this image transports us back to a time when maritime trade flourished, shaping global commerce as we know it today. As we admire this striking portrayal, let us appreciate both Van den Bergh's contribution to commerce during his tenure as Director and Pieter van der Werff's talent for immortalizing these notable figures through art.
