EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Cornelis Aerentsz van der Dussen (1481-1556), a prominent figure from Delft in the South Holland region of the Netherlands during the 16th century. The exact date of this painting is estimated to be between 1555 and 1570, and it is believed to be a copy after the original work by Jan van Scorel (1495-1562), a renowned Dutch painter of the Renaissance period. Cornelis Aerentsz van der Dussen is shown wearing formal attire, dressed in a black coat and a fur-trimmed collar. He is depicted standing with a letter in one hand, while gesturing with the other, perhaps indicating a point in the landscape behind him. The landscape, with its rolling hills and tranquil water, adds a sense of serenity to the portrait. Cornelis Aerentsz van der Dussen held various important positions during his lifetime, including that of a sheriff and a secretary. His political and legal background is reflected in his attire, which suggests a man of power and influence. The black color of his clothing was a symbol of mourning, possibly indicating a recent loss or a sign of respect for the deceased. This portrait is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands during the Renaissance period and provides a glimpse into the fashion, politics, and culture of the time. The painting, which is an oil on panel, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, making it an essential addition to the museum's extensive collection of Dutch art from the 16th century.
