EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait, titled "Portrait of Maria Louisa van Hessen-Kassel, called Maaike-Meu," was painted by the renowned German artist Johann Philipp Behr around the year 1720. The subject of the portrait is Maria Louisa of Hesse-Kassel, who was the widow of John Willem Friso, Stadtholder of Friesland and Prince of Orange-Nassau. The portrait captures Maria Louisa in the prime of her life, dressed in the fashionable clothing of the Baroque era. Her elegant half-length robe, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a vibrant, richly colored design, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the time. Maria Louisa's attire is accessorized with a pair of elegant earrings, adding a touch of sophistication and luxury to her appearance. The portrait is a prime example of the Rococo style, which emphasized the use of light, color, and ornate detailing. The concept of the portrait is not only a representation of a historical figure but also a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the 18th century, particularly in the Low Countries. The portrait is an oil on canvas painting, measuring an impressive half-length, and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of European art and a testament to the artistic talent of Johann Philipp Behr. The portrait not only serves as a historical document but also as a reminder of the rich heritage and royalty of the Netherlands during the Baroque and Rococo eras.
