EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait depicts Philip II de Montmorency, Count of Horn (ca. 1518-1568), a prominent figure in Flanders during the late 16th century. The painting was created by Adriaen Tomasz Key (1544-1589), an early Netherlandish artist known for his mastery of oil on wood technique. Philip II de Montmorency was a powerful nobleman who served as the governor of the Habsburg Netherlands from 1556 until his death in 1568. He was a key player in the political landscape of the region during a time of great turmoil, as the Netherlands were grappling with religious and political upheaval. In this portrait, Key captures the count's regal presence and intelligence. Montmorency is depicted in a three-quarter view, wearing a richly embroidered doublet and a fur-trimmed cloak. His gaze is steady and confident, reflecting his strong leadership qualities. The background is simple, with a plain wall and a small table with a book, emphasizing the focus on the subject. Key's use of color and light in this painting is exceptional. The count's face is rendered with great detail and realism, while the rich fabrics and textures are depicted with a masterful touch. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, fitting for a man of Montmorency's stature. This portrait is a testament to the artistic prowess of Adriaen Tomasz Key and the rich cultural heritage of Flanders during the Renaissance period. It is a valuable addition to the canon of early Netherlandish art and a reminder of the complex history of the region during this time.
