EDITORS COMMENTS
This family portrait captures the essence of aristocratic life in the 18th century. Diederik Baron van Leyden van Vlaardingen, a prominent Burgomaster of Leiden, is depicted alongside his elegant wife Sophia Dina de Rovere and their three beloved sons - Pieter, Jan, and Adriaan Pompejus. The scene unfolds within an opulent interior adorned with exquisite details. To the left of the composition stands a table adorned with books, symbolizing knowledge and intellectual pursuits. Young Jan engages playfully with a loyal canine companion nearby, showcasing both innocence and companionship. A vibrant bouquet of flowers graces the floor, adding a touch of natural beauty to this refined setting. In the background lies a garden vase featuring a river god sculpture while on the right side we catch glimpses of an enchanting garden through open doors or windows. This hints at an idyllic outdoor space that complements their grand residence. The print itself holds historical significance as it was part of Pieter Cornelis van Leyden's collection acquired by King Louis Napoleon in 1806. Today, it forms an integral part of the prestigious Print Room collection. Through this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only the splendor but also glimpse into familial bonds that endure across generations.
