EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester and later Duke of Oatlands, was painted by the renowned Dutch artist Simon Luttichuys during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century. Prince Henry, a younger son of King James I of England and Anne of Denmark, is depicted in a bold and confident posture, standing before a plain background, wearing a suit of Danish armor and a long, flowing mane. The direct gaze of the young prince, with one hand on his hip and the other hand resting on the hilt of his sword, exudes a sense of strength and determination. Born in England but raised in Denmark, Prince Henry spent much of his life in the Low Countries, where he became a patron of the arts and a key figure in the Dutch Golden Age. This portrait, executed in oil on canvas, showcases the artist's mastery of color and texture, with the intricate details of the armor and the rich, vibrant hues of the prince's long, curly hair. The portrait is now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, and is a testament to the rich cultural exchange between England and the Netherlands during this period. Prince Henry's heritage as both an English and Danish prince, as well as his association with the Dutch Golden Age, make this portrait a unique and intriguing piece of historical art.
