EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Charles de Houel de Morainville (1668) - A Portrait of Flemish Nobility in the Baroque Era" This engraving, created by the renowned Flemish artist Pierre Louis van Schuppen in the late 17th century, showcases the striking image of Charles de Houel de Morainville. The portrait embodies the grandeur and sophistication of the Baroque era, with its intricate details and meticulous attention to fashion and heraldry. Charles de Houel de Morainville, a nobleman from Flanders, is depicted wearing an elegant coat adorned with rich fabrics and ornate gold trim. His high collar and voluminous sleeves are typical of the fashionable attire of the time. His moustache, a popular style among men during this period, frames his stern yet distinguished face. The central focus of the portrait, however, is the elaborate coat of arms displayed prominently on the shield at his side. The blazon, a heraldic design, consists of a golden lion on a red background, symbolizing strength and courage. The crest above the shield features a golden star and a motto, "Sic Vos Non Vobis," which translates to "Such are not for yourselves," emphasizing the nobleman's selflessness and dedication to serving his community. The portrait, now a cherished piece of heritage art, is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This engraving not only serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of Pierre Louis van Schuppen but also provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, culture, and heritage of the 17th century. Pierre Louis van Schuppen, also known as Pieter Ludwig Schuppen, Pieter van Mol, or Mol Petrus van Schuppen, was a prolific Flemish engraver, whose works often featured portraits of the nobility and their coats of arms. This portrait of Charles de Houel de Morainville is a prime example of his mastery of the art form and his ability to capture the essence of the Baroque era.
