EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th-century portrait captures the distinguished figure of Joost van Coulster, Director of the Rotterdam Chamber of the Dutch East India Company, as painted by the renowned artist Pieter van der Werff. Elected to the position in 1630, Van Coulster served as the head of the Rotterdam Chamber for the United East India Company until 1722. Van der Werff masterfully depicts Van Coulster in the Baroque era, with intricate detail and rich color. The Director is dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, wearing a dark suit with a white neck ruff, a sign of wealth and status. His long, flowing beard adds to his authoritative appearance. The painting, created between the 17th and 18th centuries, is an oil on canvas masterpiece that showcases the heritage and history of the Dutch East India Company and the Low Countries. Van der Werff expertly captures the essence of the Baroque era, with its grandeur and opulence. The portrait is a testament to the importance of the Dutch East India Company in European history, as it played a significant role in the global trade industry during the 17th and 18th centuries. The company, also known as the United East India Company or the VOC, was a powerful trading organization that operated in the East Indies and Asia. This portrait of Joost van Coulster, Director of the Rotterdam Chamber of the Dutch East India Company, is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or the cultural heritage of Europe during the Baroque era. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the current home of this magnificent painting by Pieter van der Werff.
