EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the esteemed Burgomaster Jan van Duren, a prominent figure in 17th-century Dutch society. Painted by Gerard ter Borch or Borch, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases Van Duren's traditional and conservative nature through his rich but somber black attire. As a member of the ruling elite class, Van Duren exudes an air of authority and power. The painting depicts Van Duren standing confidently against a wooden table adorned with luxurious velvet fabric. His meticulously detailed clothing includes breeches, a doublet, and an elegant collar that further accentuate his status as a mayor. The burgomaster wears gloves and dons an exquisite hat which adds to his regal appearance. Van Duren's expression is serious yet dignified, reflecting the responsibilities he holds as chief magistrate of Deventer in the province of Overijssel. This pendant portrait complements another artwork featuring his wife Margaretha van Haexbergen. As we delve into this piece from the Dutch Golden Age, it becomes evident that it not only serves as a visual representation of wealth and affluence but also provides insight into the social hierarchy during that era. Through skillful brushwork and attention to detail, Terborch or Borch has immortalized Burgomaster Jan van Duren for generations to come.
