EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait depicts Pieter Jansz Kies (c. 1536-97), the Burgomaster of Haarlem, as captured by the skilled Dutch painter Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem in 1596. The image, painted on oil on panel, showcases the elegance and opulence of the Dutch Golden Age. Kies is dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, with a voluminous, ruffled collar known as a neck ruff, which was a symbol of status and wealth during the sixteenth century. He wears a richly textured doublet, adorned with intricate patterns, and a matching pair of breeches. His attire is completed with a finger ring and a pair of gloves, both essential accessories for the upper class during this period. The use of vibrant colors and rich textures in the painting adds to the grandeur of the portrait. Kies' piercing gaze and strong posture convey a sense of authority and confidence, fitting for a man in his position. The artist, Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem, expertly captures the intricacies of the subject's clothing, as well as the subtle details of his facial features and expressions. This portrait, a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the Netherlands during the sixteenth century, is a valuable addition to any collection of European art or Dutch Golden Age paintings. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is one of the many esteemed institutions that proudly preserves and displays this masterpiece for future generations to appreciate.
