Jan de Hooghe's Cousin, Dressed for Shooting, 1700: A Portrait of Dutch Hunting Fashion by Ludolf Bakhuizen This striking oil painting, created by Ludolf Bakhuizen in 1700, depicts a young man dressed in the latest hunting attire, with an air of confidence and accomplishment. The subject, believed to be a cousin of Jan de Hooghe, the renowned Flemish painter, is shown wearing a fashionable coat, jacket, and hat, adorned with intricate designs and rich colors. The man holds a hunting rifle in one hand and a hare in the other, symbolizing his success in the game. The painting reflects the Dutch fascination with hunting and the importance of fashion during the 17th century. The long, flowing hair of the subject is a common feature in Dutch portraits of the time, adding to the overall aesthetic of the work. The use of oil on canvas technique adds depth and texture to the painting, making the clothing and accessories appear lifelike. The upside-down positioning of the hare, with its legs in the air, is a common motif in Dutch hunting paintings of the period. It symbolizes the triumph of the hunter over the hare, and adds a sense of playfulness to the portrait. The man's gaze is directed away from the viewer, adding an element of mystery to the painting. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the 17th century. The painting showcases the fusion of fashion, hunting, and artistic achievement, making it a valuable addition to the history of European art.
