EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print, titled "Portrait of Lieven van Pottelsberghe, 1524" transports us back to the Renaissance era. Painted by Gerard Horenbout in oil on panel, this masterpiece measures 43x33.5 cm and is housed in the Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Ghent, Belgium. Lieven van Pottelsberghe, depicted here with utmost detail and precision, is shown deep in prayer. Kneeling before a wooden prie-dieu with an open book of prayers before him, his fur-trimmed robe adds a touch of opulence to the scene. A guardian angel hovers above him protectively while two children stand nearby as witnesses to their father's devotion. The artist skillfully captures Van Pottelsberghe's serene expression as he engages in heartfelt communication with God. The play of light and shadows further enhances the depth and realism of this remarkable painting. Notably mentioned within the artwork's additional information is Van Pottelsberghe's role as husband to Livia van Steelant – another intriguing connection that adds layers to our understanding of this historical figure. Bridgeman Images has beautifully reproduced this artwork for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its intricate details and profound spiritual significance. This print serves as a reminder of the power of prayer and faith throughout history—a timeless testament captured by Horenbout's brushstrokes.
