EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, created by the Dutch artist Nicolaes Eliasz Pickenoy in 1627, showcases Maerten Rey, a prominent figure during the Dutch Golden Age. Maerten Rey is depicted in a three-quarter view, dressed in the fashionable attire of the Baroque era. The oval-shaped, oil on panel painting displays Rey in a half-length pose, seated against a plain background. He is dressed in a dark doublet, adorned with lace at the cuffs and neckline, and a matching pair of breeches. The intricately tied neck ruff, a symbol of status and wealth during this period, adds an elegant touch to his appearance. Maerten Rey's profession as a wine merchant and steward of the Arquebusiers' Civic Guard is reflected in the still life elements of the painting. A wine glass, filled with a rich, red liquid, rests on a table next to him. The glass, with its delicate stem and foot, is a fine example of the glassware produced during this era. The inclusion of the wine glass not only adds visual interest but also emphasizes Rey's position and affluence. The vibrant colors and rich textures of the painting, typical of the Baroque style, draw the viewer in and transport us to the 17th century Netherlands. This portrait is a testament to the cultural and historical significance of this period, providing a glimpse into the fashion, lifestyle, and social hierarchy of the Dutch Golden Age.
