1643 Antwerp Eagle Flemish Frisian Paintings
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases a captivating self-portrait of the renowned Flemish artist Wybrand de Gheest, also known as 'De Friesche Adelaar' or 'the Frisian Eagle.' Wybrand de Gheest was born in Antwerp around 1591 and became celebrated for his historical paintings that depicted significant events from Flemish and Dutch history. De Gheest's artistic talent emerged early in life, and he was admitted to the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke as a master painter in 1616. His works were characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and vivid use of color. De Gheest's historical paintings often depicted scenes from the lives of saints, as well as important events from Flemish and Dutch history. The self-portrait depicted in this print is believed to have been created around the year 1643, just before the artist's death. In the image, De Gheest is shown wearing a black doublet and a white ruff, with a quill pen in one hand and a palette and brushes in the other. The artist gazes introspectively into the distance, suggesting a deep contemplation of his artistic pursuits. The Frisian eagle, his personal emblem, is prominently displayed above his head, symbolizing his Flemish heritage and his status as a master painter. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Wybrand de Gheest, who continues to be admired for his historical paintings that brought the past to life for future generations. His self-portrait serves as a reminder of the passion and dedication that drove him to become one of the most celebrated artists of his time.
