EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait depicts Johan van Oldenbarnevelt, Eques (Knight) of Berkeliae and Roderasae, a prominent Dutch statesman and lawyer of the Dutch Republic. The portrait, dated between 1710 and 1720, is an anonymous aquarelle drawing on marbled background. The artist remains unknown, adding to the intrigue surrounding this work. The portrait is inscribed with the sitter's name and titles, "Iohannes Ab Oldenbarnevelt Eques.d.Berkeliae Roderasae & C." The marbled background, a popular choice during this period, adds an element of elegance and sophistication to the piece. Johan van Oldenbarnevelt served as the Grand Pensionary of Holland, the highest civil office in the Dutch Republic, from 1619 until his arrest and execution in 1619. He was a key figure in Dutch politics and law, and his influence extended beyond the borders of the Netherlands. The portrait shows Johan van Oldenbarnevelt in a head and shoulders depiction, with a serious expression and piercing gaze. His attire is that of a man of high standing, with a white collar and a dark coat. The use of watercolour paint and ink adds depth and texture to the portrait, bringing the subject to life. This portrait is a valuable addition to any art collection or exhibition, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Dutch Republic during the eighteenth century. The intricate marbling and the historical significance of the subject make this an essential piece for any art centre or gallery, adding to the ongoing dialogue surrounding Dutch history and politics.
