EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Cornelis Pijnacker Hordijk (1847-1908), the Gouverneur-generaal (Governor-General) of the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) from 1888 to 1893. Painted by Dutch artist Adriaan Johannes Petrus Boudewijnse in 1895, the oil on canvas work showcases Pijnacker Hordijk in his formal attire, donning the distinctive red and gold sash of his position. As a jurist and politician, Pijnacker Hordijk played a significant role in the Dutch colonial administration during the late 19th century. His tenure as Governor-General was marked by efforts to modernize the Dutch East Indies, including the expansion of infrastructure and the implementation of new laws. The painting beautifully encapsulates the grandeur and prestige of the Dutch colonial era. Pijnacker Hordijk stands confidently, dressed in the formal attire of the time, with a serious yet resolute expression. The rich colors and intricate details of the clothing and setting further emphasize the historical significance of the moment. This portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, serves as a testament to the complex history of the Dutch East Indies and the men who shaped its destiny during the colonial era. The painting's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and the people who shaped it.
