EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th-century portrait, painted by the renowned Flemish artist Jan Mytens (1611-1670), captures the elegant and refined beauty of Margaretha van Raephorst (d. 1690). The painting, titled "Margaretha van Raephorst (d 1690). Wife of Cornelis Tromp, 1668," was created in the Baroque era, a time marked by opulence and grandeur. Margaretha is depicted wearing an intricately designed black gown, adorned with lace and pearls, which was a popular fashion trend among the European elite during this period. Her luxurious pearl necklace and matching earrings add to her regal appearance. Margaretha's hair is styled in an elaborate and intricate hairstyle, common during the Baroque era, which includes a large, piled-up bun at the back of her head, adorned with pearls and ribbons. Her hairdo is held in place by a delicate, ornate headpiece. The painting was completed in 1668, making it an important historical artifact that provides a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the time. Margaretha was the wife of Cornelis Tromp (1629-1693), a Dutch admiral and naval commander. The painting was likely commissioned to celebrate their marriage or to commemorate a significant milestone in their lives. The painting is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where it is a cherished part of the European art heritage. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the painting continue to captivate viewers and provide a window into the past. The painting is a testament to the artistic skill and mastery of Jan Mytens, who was a leading painter of portraits during the Baroque era.
