EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, plate four from Cornelis de Visscher's Quatuor Personae series, showcases Luidewijk Boisot, the Admiral of Zeeland during the Dutch Golden Age. The image, created in 1649, captures the admiral in a bold and imposing pose, dressed in the ornate apparel and armor of his rank. Boisot gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and resolute expression, his piercing gaze adding an element of intensity to the portrait. The intricate detail of the engraving is evident in the textured representation of Boisot's casque and helmet, the folds of his clothing, and the intricate patterns on his armor. The use of ivory laid paper adds a sense of elegance and sophistication to the piece. Admiral Boisot's attire reflects the grandeur and opulence of the Dutch Golden Age, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in the Netherlands. The Low Countries were a major power in Europe during this time, with a thriving economy and a strong naval presence. This portrait is a testament to the importance of the admiralty during this era, as well as the artistic skill of Cornelis de Visscher. The direct gaze of the subject and the high-quality engraving technique make this a striking and memorable work of art. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, allowing modern viewers to appreciate the heritage and history of the Dutch Golden Age.
