EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange (1567-1625), a prominent figure in Dutch and European history. The painting, created around 1612 by the skilled artist Jacob Lyon (also known as Leon de Fuyter Jacob or Jacob Lyon de Fuyter), provides an intriguing glimpse into the fashion and culture of the early 17th century. Maurice of Nassau, a military leader and statesman, is shown in head and shoulders format, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. He wears a high-collared shirt, adorned with a ruff, which was a popular accessory among the European elite during this period. The collar, known as a "netting ruff," was often made of starched linen and secured with pins or laces. Maurice's clothing is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Dutch Republic during the Golden Age. The painting is an oil on copper or oil on metal technique, which was a common method used during the 17th century. The use of this technique allowed for a rich, vibrant color palette and a high level of detail, making the portrait a stunning example of the artistic achievements of the era. Maurice of Nassau's portrait is an essential addition to any art collection focusing on European history, Dutch art, or fashion clothing. It offers a unique perspective into the life of a significant historical figure and the cultural context of the time. This artwork is a must-see for anyone interested in the arts, history, or the Low Countries' heritage.
