EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting, created by the renowned artist Joachim von Sandrart I in the 1630s or 1640s, captures a moment of historical significance in the city of Amsterdam. The scene depicts Officers and other Civic Guardsmen of the XIX District, led by Captain Cornelis Bicker and Lieutenant Frederick van Banchem, eagerly waiting to welcome Marie de' Medici, the Dowager Queen of France, on her visit to the city on 1 September 1638. The painting showcases the grandeur and importance of the civic guard, an essential part of the civil defense system in the Dutch Republic during this period. The guardsmen are dressed in their finest apparel, donning colorful uniforms, complete with intricate details and insignia. Their stern yet attentive expressions convey their readiness to fulfill their duties. Captain Cornelis Bicker and Lieutenant Frederick van Banchem, both prominent figures in Amsterdam society, are depicted in the foreground, their gazes fixed on the approaching royal visitor. The use of oil on canvas technique adds depth and texture to the painting, bringing the subjects to life and transporting the viewer back in time. The painting, titled "Officers and other Civic Guardsmen of the XIX District of Amsterdam, under the command of Captain Cornelis Bicker and Lieutenant Frederick van Banchem, waiting to welcome Marie de Medicis," is a testament to the rich heritage and history of the Netherlands during the seventeenth century. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
