EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Quint Lox beautifully captures the essence of Rombout Hogerbeets, a prominent figure in Dutch history. Painted in 1648 by Jacob van Meurs, this print showcases Hogerbeets' dignified presence and intellectual prowess. Hogerbeets served as the pensionary of Leyden in 1619 during a tumultuous time when political and religious tensions ran high. The portrait serves as a reminder of his unwavering commitment to justice and freedom despite facing personal adversity. The story behind this image is deeply intertwined with the life of Hugo Grotius, another influential thinker of that era. Hogerbeets was convicted alongside Grotius for their involvement in political disputes and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, even amidst confinement, Hogerbeets continued to champion his beliefs and contribute to society through his writings. Quint Lox's meticulous attention to detail brings out every nuance on Hogerbeets' face - from the lines etched by years of experience to the determined glimmer in his eyes. This print not only immortalizes an important historical figure but also serves as a testament to resilience and intellectual fortitude. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are reminded that true strength lies not just in physical might but also in one's ability to endure hardships while upholding principles dear to them.
