EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking oil painting, titled "Officers and Other Civic Guardsmen of the IIIrd District of Amsterdam, under the Command of Captain Thomas de Keyser," showcases the elite members of Amsterdam's civic militia during the 17th century. Captain Thomas de Keyser, depicted in the center with a red sash and a stern expression, leads the group of men dressed in their ornate and colorful uniforms. The painting, created by renowned Dutch artist Thomas de Keyser around 1632, offers a glimpse into the fashion and social hierarchy of the time. The guardsmen, all members of the IIIrd District of Amsterdam, are dressed in intricately designed clothing, reflecting their status and commitment to civic defense. The men wear a variety of hats, from the tall, peaked caps of the officers to the simple berets of the rank-and-file guardsmen. Their coats are adorned with gold braid and other decorative elements, while their breeches and waistcoats are tailored to fit snugly. The painting also features two officers, Lieutenant Lucas Jacobsz Rotgans and Captain Allaert Cloeck, who are depicted to the left and right of Captain de Keyser, respectively. The men's uniforms are equally impressive, with Rotgans wearing a blue coat with gold trim and Cloeck donning a red coat with silver buttons. The painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a testament to the importance of the civic guard in Dutch society during the 17th century. It also serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands and the intricacies of European fashion during this period.
