EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Cornelis Backer, a prominent figure in 17th-century Amsterdam. Painted by the talented artist Caspar Netscher between 1660 and 1684, this canvas masterpiece measures 50 cm in height, 42 cm in width, and is beautifully rendered with oil paint. In this half-length depiction, Backer exudes an air of authority and confidence as he sits comfortably with his right arm leaning on a table. Clutched firmly in his left hand is a sword, symbolizing his role as colonel of the Amsterdam militia. As a counselor and alderman of the city's bourgeoisie council, Backer played an influential role in shaping Amsterdam's political landscape during his lifetime. Netscher skillfully captures Backer's distinguished features and noble demeanor through meticulous brushstrokes that bring life to every detail. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition while highlighting Backer's strong presence. This print serves as both a historical document and a work of art that pays homage to Cornelis Backer's significant contributions to society. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, it invites viewers to appreciate the rich history behind this remarkable individual who shaped Amsterdam's social fabric during its golden age
