1670 Delft Prince Frederik Hendrik Jan Verkolje
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the year 1670 in Delft, where we catch a glimpse of an esteemed figure from Dutch history. The portrait showcases Johannes Goethals, the court preacher of Prince Frederik Hendrik, at the age of 60. Jan Verkolje (I), a renowned artist of his time, skillfully captures Goethals' dignified presence and wisdom on paper. With every stroke of his brush, Verkolje brings out the depth and character etched onto Goethals' face. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are drawn into Goethals' world - a man who played an influential role in shaping religious discourse during a pivotal period in Dutch society. His position as court preacher to Prince Frederik Hendrik undoubtedly placed him at the heart of political and spiritual affairs. The delicate details preserved on this small print allow us to appreciate not only Verkolje's artistic mastery but also provide insight into the fashion and style prevalent during that era. This print serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage and reminds us that even centuries later, these historical figures continue to inspire curiosity and admiration. Let it be cherished for its artistic value and revered for its ability to transport us through time.
