EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases John Smythe of Ostenhanger, a prominent figure from the historical town of Westenhanger in Kent. Painted by Cornelius Govertszoon Ketel, a renowned Dutch artist from the 16th century, this oil on panel artwork captures the essence and charm of Mr. Smythe at the age of 23. The painting is rich with intricate details that bring out his character and style. Dressed in an elegant Tudor costume, Smythe exudes confidence and sophistication. The ruff around his neck adds a touch of grandeur to his appearance while his coat reflects the fashion trends of that era. The yellow date inscribed on the upper right corner reveals that this masterpiece was created in 1579 when Smythe was just entering adulthood. The artist's skillful brushstrokes beautifully capture every nuance and feature, making it feel as if he could step out from the canvas at any moment. This remarkable piece not only serves as a visual representation but also provides us with a glimpse into history. It allows us to appreciate both Ketel's talent as an artist and Smythe's significance within society during that time period. As we admire this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to an era where art served as a means to immortalize individuals like John Smythe - capturing their essence for generations to come.
