EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Malicious Aertje," depicts Arent Franckensz van der Meer, Lord of Pendrecht, in the 16th century. The anonymous artist masterfully captures the aristocrat's stern expression and intricate apparel, providing a glimpse into the fashion and social hierarchy of the time. Arent wears a richly decorated coat, adorned with a keystone arch and the shield of arms of his lordship. The coat is fastened with a golden clasp, and he carries a twisted walking staff, signifying his occupation as a bailiff or a man of authority. The painting's title, "Malicious Aertje," suggests a complex reputation or perhaps a nickname. The expression on his face, with a furrowed brow and a slight turn of the lips, adds intrigue to the portrait. His wife, Jacomina Claesdr van Ruyven, is not present in the painting, but her influence is evident in the opulent setting and the fine artistry of the work. The portrait is an oil on panel painting from the Netherlands, dating back to the 1550s or 1560s. The intricate details of the clothing, the vibrant colors, and the heraldic elements all contribute to the historical significance of this artwork. The painting is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of Europe during the sixteenth century.
