EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century photograph from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Holland, we witness a rare moment as the Princess of Orange pays a visit to the workshop of renowned Dutch painter Bartholomeus van der Helst (1824-1907). The Princess, identified as Mary Stuart, is depicted in profile, dressed elegantly in a voluminous gown adorned with intricate lace edging and a pearl necklace. She wears a bracelet on her left wrist and carries a fan in her right hand. The artist, Bartholomeus van der Helst, is seen in the background, surrounded by his male contemporaries. The interior of the workshop is filled with an array of artistic tools and materials, including brushes, paints, and canvases. A large carpet covers the floor, and the walls are adorned with finished paintings, some of which feature portraits of men in military uniforms. The Princess seems deep in contemplation as she examines a painting of a man wearing a gorget and boots, perhaps considering the next addition to her own collection or commissioning a new portrait. Bartholomeus van der Helst was a contemporary of Hendrik Jacobus Scholten (1824-1907), and it is believed that this photograph was taken during one of their meetings. The image offers a unique glimpse into the world of Dutch art and royal patronage during the 19th century, showcasing the close relationship between the monarchy and the contemporary art scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Holland and the European continent, providing a fascinating insight into the lives of the people who shaped the cultural landscape of their time. The Princess's visit to Bartholomeus van der Helst's workshop serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art and the importance of artistic expression in shaping our collective history.
