EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Barthelemy Alatruye (d. 1450)" takes us back to the 15th century in France. Painted by Robert Campin, a renowned artist of his time, this oil on wood masterpiece measures 44x31.5 cm and is currently housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Tournai, Belgium. The subject of this painting is none other than Barthelemy Alatruye, a secretary who served at the court of Philip the Good. With its intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the world of medieval administration and politics. Alatruye's face gazes out from beneath an elegant hat that adds an air of sophistication to his appearance. The gold background behind him symbolizes wealth and power associated with his position within Burgundy's royal court. As we examine every brushstroke carefully applied by Campin's skilled hand, we notice a jewel-adorned ring on Alatruye's finger—a subtle yet significant detail that hints at his elevated status within society. This Flemish art piece not only captures the likeness of a historical figure but also serves as a testament to the artistic prowess prevalent during this period. Paul Maeyaert has expertly captured this stunning print for all art enthusiasts to appreciate and admire for years to come.
