EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, created by the renowned Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens in 1635, showcases the affluent couple Rogier Le Witer and Catharina Behaghel. The painting, a testament to the Baroque artistic movement of the 17th century, is a stunning example of the Antwerp School's mastery of color and gilding. Rogier Le Witer, depicted on the left, is shown in a richly textured, gilt doublet, complete with a high collar known as a ruff. His attire is adorned with intricate gold lace, a symbol of his prosperity. In his right hand, he holds a fan, a fashionable accessory indicative of his refined taste. Catharina Behaghel, on the right, is equally elegantly dressed. Her voluminous, golden gown is adorned with pearls and other precious jewels, including a pearl necklace and earrings. Her hair is styled in intricate braids, held in place by a delicate, handheld fan. The couple's portraits are a visual representation of their wealth and status in Flanders during the Baroque era. The painting, which is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is an oil on canvas masterpiece that captures the essence of the 17th century's artistic movement. The use of rich colors, gilding, and intricate details are all hallmarks of the Baroque style, which emphasized grandeur and opulence. This portrait is not only a historical record of two individuals but also a beautiful work of art that continues to captivate viewers today.
