EDITORS COMMENTS
This family portrait captures the essence of renowned physician Hermanus Boerhaave, his wife Maria Drolenvaux, and their beloved daughter Johanna Maria. Painted by Aert de Gelder between 1720 and 1725, this masterpiece showcases the familial bond that transcends time. Seated in elegant fantasy clothing, the trio is depicted holding hands, symbolizing their unity and love for one another. The tender grip on each other's wrists speaks volumes about their connection and support within this close-knit family unit. Hermanus Boerhaave was a distinguished Professor of Medicine at Leiden University during the late 17th to early 18th century. His expertise in medical science revolutionized the field and left an indelible mark on future generations of physicians. Maria Drolenvaux, his devoted wife, stands proudly beside him. Her gracefulness radiates from her gentle smile as she gazes upon their daughter Johanna Maria with adoration. Little Johanna Maria would later become known as Countess de Thoms, leaving her own legacy in history. The artist has masterfully captured not just their physical appearances but also the depth of emotion shared among them. This canvas painting measuring approximately 104.5 cm by 173 cm is a testament to both familial love and artistic brilliance. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection today, it serves as a reminder that even centuries later, human connections remain timeless treasures worth cherishing forever.
