EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait depicts Gaspar Fagel, the Grand Pensionary of Holland from 1672 to 1700. The Grand Pensionary was the highest-ranking civil officer in the Dutch Republic, responsible for the administration of justice and the execution of the decrees of the States of Holland. Fagel's distinguished career as a jurist and diplomat began in 1638 when he was appointed as a commissary in the States of Holland. The portrait, created by Johannes Volleven I (copy after), captures Fagel in the prime of his life, with a serious yet thoughtful expression. He is depicted wearing the traditional attire of a Dutch official, complete with a white collar and a black robe. In the background, the Meeting Hall of the States of Holland at the Binnenhof in The Hague is visible, emphasizing Fagel's important role in Dutch politics. The painting, executed in oil on canvas, is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the Baroque era. The use of rich colors and bold brushstrokes adds depth and texture to the image, making it a captivating piece of art from the 17th century. The portrait of Gaspar Fagel is an essential part of the Dutch heritage and a reminder of the country's rich political history. Johannes Volleven I was a renowned Dutch painter of the Baroque period, known for his portraits and historical scenes. His works are a valuable addition to the artistic and historical record of the Netherlands and Europe during the 17th century.
