EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Portrait of the Dordrecht mayor and Admiral Mattheus van den Broucke, adorned with a magnificent chest ornament and holding a commanding baton. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Godfried Schalcken, as mentioned on the object itself. Dating back to the period between 1660 and 1680, this portrait captures the essence of historical figures in all their glory. Intriguingly, behind Van den Broucke stands a rugged rock wall that contrasts with the choppy sea featuring an impressive fleet of ships. This composition adds depth to the image, symbolizing both strength and power associated with these influential Dutch personalities. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; it allows us to appreciate every aspect of Van den Broucke's regalia. The chest ornament gleams with opulence while his firm grip on the baton exudes authority. It is evident that Schalcken skillfully captured not only their physical appearance but also their character through his brushstrokes. This artwork becomes even more fascinating when considering its context within Dutch history. The presence of a Dutch poem further emphasizes its significance as it likely conveys additional layers of meaning related to Mayor Joachim Oudaan or other relevant events during that era. Quint Lox has masterfully curated this piece from Liszt Collection, offering viewers an opportunity to delve into a rich tapestry woven by artistry and history alike.
