Description: | Signed: yes Description: Bol was a pupil of Rembrandt, whose style he imitated until around 1650. This portrait dates from 1660, showing the artist's shift towards a more colourful, light and elegant approach to portraiture based on Flemish models: a middle-aged man, wearing a loosely fitted dark velvet coat over a white shirt, is portrayed at half-length against the rosy glow of a landscape. He stands behind a balustrade that is covered with a richly patterned rug. The light coming from the left accentuates the textures and movement of the various pieces of fabric, thus adding to the sumptuousness of the portrait. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bol, Ferdinand (Dutch history and portrait painter, 1616-1680) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8588... | Go to resource |
