EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning brass rubbing depicts Adrian, the grandson of Bartholomew Roeland, from the city of Breda in Holland during the 16th century. The intricately designed monumental brass, created around 1550, showcases Adrian in a contemplative pose, surrounded by a multitude of angels and symbolic motifs. Adrian's halo encircles his head, signifying his sacred status, while a square Latin inscription encases the border of the plate. The Dutch coat of arms, featuring a lion and a fleur-de-lis, can be seen at the top of the rubbing. Angels, each holding a cup or a communion plate, surround Adrian, symbolizing the spiritual nourishment and support he received throughout his life. A prominent angel, holding a large chalice, hovers above Adrian, pouring its contents into the cup in his hand. This act represents the Eucharist, a sacred Christian ritual that symbolizes the body and blood of Christ. The communion cup, adorned with a wreath, is a symbol of the eternal life that Adrian has attained. The intricate details of this brass rubbing are a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The delicate etching of the angels' wings, the precise lines of their faces, and the delicate folds of their robes all contribute to the overall beauty and significance of this historical artifact. This monumental brass rubbing is a valuable piece of Dutch cultural heritage, providing a glimpse into the religious beliefs and artistic sensibilities of the 16th century. The use of angels, Latin inscriptions, and symbolic motifs is a common theme in Dutch brass rubbings of this era, reflecting the deep-rooted influence of the Catholic Church on Dutch society during this time.
