EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length portrait, created by the renowned Dutch painter Cornelis Pietersz. van der Voort around 1620, captures the affluence and grandeur of Laurens Reael, a prominent figure of the Dutch East India Company during the Baroque era. Reael, born in 1583, served as the Governor General of the Dutch East Indies, also known as the VOC or United East India Company, from 1615 to 1619. The portrait showcases the opulence of the 17th century, with Laurens Reael dressed in the finest apparel of the time. He wears a richly textured, dark doublet, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, and a voluminous neck ruff that was a popular fashion accessory during the era. The vibrant colors and rich textures of the painting bring the portrait to life, transporting us back to the Baroque era. The portrait is a testament to the wealth and power of the Dutch East India Company during this period, as well as the importance of the spice trade in European history. The painting is an oil on canvas work, measuring approximately 130.8 x 100.5 cm, and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Cornelis Pietersz. van der Voort expertly captures the essence of Laurens Reael, conveying his authority and sophistication through the use of color, composition, and the intricate details of his clothing. The portrait is a valuable addition to the heritage of European art, providing a glimpse into the past and the rich history of the Dutch East India Company.
