EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Adriaan Valckenier, who served as Governor General of the Dutch East India Company from 1737 to 1741. The portrait captures Valckenier in a commanding pose, standing with his left side facing forward and his gaze fixed firmly ahead. In his right hand, he holds a command staff, symbolizing his authority and leadership. Resting on a book before him is a paper adorned with the monogram of the VOC (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie), emphasizing Valckenier's association with this renowned trading company. Above him, we see his family crest proudly displayed while below are depicted the arms of the Dutch East Indies, the Republic, and Batavia. The background reveals an exquisite ship sailing upon vast seas, hinting at Valckenier's role in overseeing maritime trade during this era. This remarkable portrait forms part of a series dedicated to capturing the governors-general who once governed these lands. Crafted using brass alloy and oil paint on canvas measuring approximately 102.5 cm in height by 85.5 cm in width, this artwork offers us an intriguing glimpse into history. It immortalizes not only Adriaan Valckenier but also evokes memories of colonial governance and exploration during that time period.
