EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Amsterdam Center World Trade Harpsichord Member". The image captures the intricate details of a harpsichord lid, which serves as an allegory of Amsterdam as the center of world trade. At the forefront, we see the personification of Amsterdam in the form of a graceful maiden on the left side. She stands beside a river god with Neptune, lord of the sea, by her side. With her left hand outstretched, she reaches for a globe symbolizing global influence and trade. Looking towards the future, ships can be seen in a bay along with an enchanting view of an Asian landscape—a testament to Amsterdam's extensive merchant shipping and trading connections. Above this magnificent scene, putti proudly hold up the city arms of Amsterdam—a representation not only of its status as a bustling trade hub but also its significance as a town patroness. The artwork is richly adorned with symbolic elements such as cornucopia (Horn of Plenty), emphasizing prosperity and abundance associated with commerce. This masterpiece was painted by Pieter Isaacsz between 1604 and 1607 using oil paint on panel. Displayed within Stadhuis van Amsterdam from 1655 to 1808—the former City Hall—this painting beautifully encapsulates Amsterdam's historical role in shaping global trade dynamics through renowned institutions like Dutch East India Company Departure.
