EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on board painting depicts the Dutch Baroque artist Govert (Govaert) Teuniszoon Flinck (1615-1660) in a striking self-portrait, captured around 1633. Flinck was a prominent figure of the Dutch Golden Age, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in the Netherlands. Flinck's bust-length portrait showcases his introspective gaze and the intricacies of his expressive face. He wears a simple black hat adorned with a single white feather, a common accessory among Dutchmen of the time. The artist's hands are delicately placed on his chest, emphasizing his dedication and pride in his craft. The influence of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) is evident in this painting, as Flinck was a student of the renowned Dutch master. The bust of Rembrandt, which can be seen on the table behind Flinck, further underscores the artistic connection between the two artists. This painting is now part of the esteemed collection at the Gemaldegalerie in Berlin's Kulturforum, one of the National Museums of Berlin. The museum houses an extensive collection of European art from the Middle Ages to the present day, making it a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts. Govert Flinck's self-portrait is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands during the 17th century and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of the Dutch Baroque period on the art world.
