EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of artistic devotion and remembrance. In this self-portrait by Willem Bartel van der Kooi, we see the artist standing halfway, pointing towards a portrait of his deceased colleague Dirk Jacobsz Ploegsma. The yearning for connection with his departed friend is evident in van der Kooi's gaze. Ploegsma is depicted in the portrait holding a palette and brushes, symbolizing his creative spirit that lives on even after death. Above the portrait, an allegorical figure representing grief stands alongside what appears to be Fame herself. This juxtaposition suggests that while mourning may accompany loss, fame can immortalize an artist's legacy. The composition of this artwork is masterful, with its use of light and shadow creating depth and dimensionality. The canvas itself measures 122 cm in height and 96 cm in width, allowing every intricate detail to be appreciated. As viewers engage with this print from the Liszt Collection, they are invited into a world where art transcends time and mortality. It serves as a poignant reminder of the bonds formed through creativity and pays homage to those who have left their mark on history
