EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the remarkable figure of Carel Quina, a renowned Amsterdam-born explorer and Knight of the Holy Sepulcher. Painted by Jacob Toorenvliet in 1669, this half-length depiction captures Quina's adventurous spirit and intellectual pursuits. Seated at a table adorned with an open atlas displaying a map of Europe and the Middle East, Quina is engrossed in his studies. In his right hand, he holds a compass, symbolizing his navigational expertise as he ventured through uncharted territories in Asia. A faithful servant stands to his left, presenting him with a bowl of luscious fruits that speak to both luxury and exoticism. The background offers us a glimpse into another world - Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome looms majestically on the horizon. This hints at Quina's extensive travels and encounters with diverse cultures during his explorations. Adding warmth to the scene is an adorable dog seated on a Persian rug atop the table. Its presence suggests companionship amidst Quina's scholarly pursuits. This copper-printed masterpiece measures 40 cm in height, 31 cm in width, and has a thickness of 0.8 cm. The use of oil paint brings depth and richness to every brushstroke. Through this portrait print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness the essence of Carel Quina - an intrepid explorer whose thirst for knowledge knew no bounds.
