EDITORS COMMENTS
selected image title: Johan Boudaen Courten (1635-1716), Lord of St Laurens, Schellach and Popkensburg, 1668. This striking portrait depicts Johan Boudaen Courten (1635-1716), a prominent figure in the Dutch Republic during the Baroque era. Courten held significant positions of power, serving as Councillor of Middelburg and Director of the East India Company. The oil on canvas painting, created by the renowned artist Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen, showcases Courten's grandeur and status. Dressed in the rich attire of the time, Courten wears a dark, velvet doublet, adorned with intricate gold lace and a white collar, symbolizing his high rank. The vibrant red sash across his chest further emphasizes his authority. His hair is meticulously styled, swept back and held in place with a white ribbon. The artist has captured the subtle details of the textures and colors, from the deep hues of the velvet fabric to the intricate patterns of the lace. The background of the painting is a simple, yet elegant landscape, with a map of the Netherlands and Europe subtly incorporated into the scene. This element may represent Courten's involvement in international trade and diplomacy, as the East India Company played a significant role in the Dutch Republic's global connections. The painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the fashion and artistic sensibilities of the 17th century in the Netherlands. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the powerful men who shaped the Dutch Republic during this period, and the artistic mastery of Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen in capturing their essence.
