EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century portrait captures the likeness of Gijsbert Tijssens (1693-1732), a renowned playwright from Amsterdam during the Baroque era. The portrait, painted by Jan Maurits Quinkhard in 1732, showcases the subject in a formal attire, with a serious yet contemplative expression. Tijssens's profession as a dramatist is reflected in the background, where we see a quill pen and an open book, symbolizing the tools of his trade. The portrait is framed in a gilded, ornate frame, adding an air of elegance and sophistication. The use of copper metal for the frame, combined with the gilding and gilt, adds a rich, golden glow to the artwork. The portrait is reminiscent of the Rococo style, popular during the 18th century in the Low Countries, with its soft, muted colors and attention to detail. The portrait was created during the later years of Tijssens's life, and it is believed that it was completed shortly before his death in 1732. The artist, Jan Maurits Quinkhard, was a prominent figure in the Amsterdam art scene during the Baroque and Rococo eras, and his works are highly sought after by collectors and museums. This portrait of Gijsbert Tijssens is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands during the 18th century, and it offers a glimpse into the life of a man who made a significant contribution to the world of literature and drama. The sepia tones of the portrait add to its timeless beauty and make it a true masterpiece of European art.
