EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Portrait of Godard van Reede, Bust van Godard, baron van Reede-Ginckel, count of Athlone" by Jacob Houbraken. Created between 1747 and 1759 in Amsterdam, this piece is a testament to the artistic mastery of its time. The portrait depicts Godard van Reede with utmost elegance and sophistication. Encased within an oval frame, he proudly wears the distinguished sign of the Order of the Elephant around his neck. The intricate details captured through paper etching bring out every nuance of his noble features. Resting on a ledge beneath the portrait lies an empty field awaiting inscription with his name - "Godard baron van Reede-Ginckel (count of Athlone)". This subtle addition adds a touch of mystery to this already intriguing artwork. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow creates depth and dimensionality in this composition. Every line etched onto paper conveys a sense of realism that draws viewers into Van Reede's world. As part of the Liszt Collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only Van Reede's regal presence but also Houbraken's exceptional talent as an etcher. It serves as a timeless reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing beauty and preserving history.
