EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century portrait, titled "Portrait of a Man, possibly Jacob de Graeff, Alderman of Amsterdam in 1672," is a masterpiece by the renowned Flemish painter Karel Du Jardin. Painted in oil on canvas in 1670, this artwork is a prime example of the Baroque era's grandeur and sophistication. The subject, dressed in the finest apparel of the Dutch Golden Age, stands proudly before us, his expression exuding confidence and authority. The man's elaborate wig, adorned with curls and rosettes, is a testament to the fashion trends of the time. His clothing, richly textured and vibrant in color, is a visual feast for the eyes. The intricate patterns and designs on his doublet and breeches are a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that was characteristic of the era's fashion. But what sets this portrait apart is the presence of the hare at the man's feet. In Dutch culture, hares were a symbol of prosperity and good fortune, making this addition to the painting an intentional nod to the subject's wealth and status. The man's companion dog, also at his feet, adds a touch of warmth and humanity to the portrait. This artwork is a treasure of European heritage and a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Low Countries during the Baroque era. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
