EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Hendrik IV of Naaldwijk, Knight and Hereditary Marshall of Holland, in the late 15th or early 16th century. The anonymous artist masterfully captures the aristocrat's regal presence, as Hendrik dons an elaborate coat of arms adorned with the distinctive emblem of a cauliflower-like growth on his nose, a sign of his affliction with rhinophyma. The intricate inscriptions and blazon on his shield reveal his noble heritage and status in Dutch society. Hendrik's grand apparel, with its rich colors and fine textures, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the aristocracy during this period. The knight is shown in prayer, emphasizing his piety and devotion to his faith. The large-scale oil painting, created on panel, showcases the artist's skillful use of oil paints to bring out the intricate details of Hendrik's armor, clothing, and facial features. As a prominent figure in the Low Countries during the 16th century, Hendrik IV of Naaldwijk played a significant role in the social class hierarchy of the Netherlands, representing the nobility and knighthood. The portrait is a testament to the artistic and historical importance of this era, offering a glimpse into the lives of the aristocracy and their fashion, religion, and warfare during the European Renaissance.
