EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the distinguished figure of Johan, a free man hailing from Paffenrode. Positioned halfway to the right, Johan, also known as Lord of Gussigny, exudes an aura of power and strength in his formidable armor. His left hand gracefully rests on a helmet while his right firmly grasps a command staff. In front of him lies an open book adorned with the Latin phrase "Utroque clarescere pulchrum" symbolizing enlightenment through both mind and body. Below the portrait, a beautifully designed cartouche proudly displays his name alongside a three-line text written in Dutch. The attention to detail is remarkable as every aspect of military attire and equipment is meticulously depicted - from uniforms to caps, armor to helmets. This portrayal truly captures the essence of Johan's noble status and military prowess. Created by Jan van Haensbergen in Gorinchem during 1674, this paper etching measures 253 mm in height and 160 mm in width. It serves as not only a testament to artistic skill but also as a historical artifact that offers insight into the life and achievements of Johan, Vrijheer van Paffenrode.
