EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print captures the esteemed figure of Mattheus van den Broucke, a prominent Counselor of the Indies during the 17th century. Standing confidently before a balustrade, he exudes an air of authority and wisdom. Adorned with a golden chain and medal bestowed upon him by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in 1670, his accomplishments are proudly displayed. Van den Broucke's influence extended beyond his role as Counselor; in 1677, he was elected mayor of Dordrecht, further solidifying his position as a respected leader within society. In this portrayal, he holds a walking stick in his right hand while casually resting his left hand at his side. The background reveals a picturesque seascape adorned with sailing ships, symbolizing Van den Broucke's connection to trade and exploration through the VOC. The artist behind this masterpiece is Samuel van Hoogstraten who skillfully captured every detail on canvas using oil paint. This print from the Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only Van den Broucke's physical appearance but also provides insight into his significant contributions to both local governance and international commerce during this era. It serves as a timeless reminder of an influential figure whose legacy continues to inspire admiration centuries later.
