EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Company of the Civic Guard of Amsterdam, Under Captain Albert Bas and Lieutenant Conyn" painted by Govaert Flinck in 1645. The artwork, featured in Bibbys Annual 1914 edited by Joseph Bibby, offers a glimpse into the vibrant history of Amsterdam during the 17th century. In this group portrait, we see a distinguished gathering of civic guardsmen from District XVIII. Each man is meticulously dressed in exquisite clothing made from colorful silk fabric adorned with delicate lace details. Their hats are embellished with elegant ostrich feathers that add an air of grandeur to their appearance. The painting captures the essence of camaraderie as these men stand together proudly, representing their district and fulfilling their duty as protectors of Amsterdam. Their confident expressions reflect both their individuality and unity as they pose for this timeless piece. Govaert Flinck's masterful use of oil paints brings depth and richness to every brushstroke, further enhancing the regal atmosphere surrounding these gallant figures. This remarkable artwork now resides in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate visitors with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. As we admire this print today, we are transported back to a time when honor and loyalty were celebrated through artistry. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by those who dedicated themselves to protecting their beloved city centuries ago.
