EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable double portrait of Pastor Philippus Baldaeus and his Sinhalese translator-translator, Gerrit Mossopotam. Painted by Johan de la Rocquette in 1668, this masterpiece captures the essence of their unique relationship within a stunning landscape setting. In the painting, we see Pastor Philippus Baldaeus standing tall and confident, accompanied by three loyal dogs at his feet. His expression exudes wisdom and authority as he engages with his surroundings. By his side stands Gerrit Mossopotam, a trusted assistant who played a vital role in bridging cultural gaps during their time in Sri Lanka. The artist skillfully portrays the contrasting personalities of these two individuals through their postures and facial expressions. While Baldaeus emanates strength and determination, Mossopotam's demeanor reflects humility and attentiveness. The lush landscape behind them adds depth to the composition, transporting us to the vibrant scenery of Sri Lanka. The use of oil paint on canvas brings out rich colors that enhance every detail captured by de la Rocquette's brushstrokes. This extraordinary portrait not only immortalizes these historical figures but also serves as a testament to their collaborative efforts in understanding different cultures. It is an invaluable piece that celebrates diversity and reminds us of the power of communication across boundaries.
