EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Alliance and Harmony: The Coat of Arms of Cornelis Calkoen and Maria van der Merct, 1694" This exquisite 17th-century gouache and watercolor painting on parchment depicts the Alliance Coat of Arms of Cornelis Calkoen and his third wife, Maria van der Merct, created by the renowned Dutch artist Maria Moninckx in 1694. The coat of arms is a beautiful blend of heraldic symbolism and natural elements, reflecting the union of two prominent families in the Low Countries. Cornelis Calkoen, a prominent wholesaler of cloth, woven fabrics, Turkish yarn, and blue cloth dyer, is represented by his coat of arms adorned with a crown. Maria van der Merct, the bride, is symbolized by her own coat of arms, which features a red admiral butterfly, the Vanessa atalanta, a symbol of transformation and rebirth, representing her as a new wife. The coat of arms is surrounded by a vibrant wreath of flowers, including butterflies and other insects, as well as various plants, creating a harmonious and natural setting that symbolizes the union of the two families. The intricate design, with its rich colors and intricate details, showcases the artistic skill and mastery of Maria Moninckx. This magnificent work of art, a testament to the marriage of Cornelis Calkoen and Maria van der Merct, is now part of the Rijksmuseum's heritage collection, preserving the history and culture of the Netherlands in the seventeenth century. The painting's intricate blazon, with its animal and plant motifs, continues to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the art and history of the period.
