Caspar van Baerle in a Garden Setting – 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph

About the Item

Caspar van Baerle in a Garden Setting – 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph This charming 19th-century hand-colored lithograph depicts Caspar van Baerle (1584–1648), a noted Dutch scholar, poet, and historian of the Dutch Golden Age. A close associate of prominent humanists such as Hugo Grotius and Constantijn Huygens, Van Baerle was a professor at Leiden University and a prolific writer, contributing to the literary and intellectual life of the Dutch Republic. In this tranquil scene, Van Baerle is seated in a garden with a letter or manuscript in hand, suggesting a moment of peaceful contemplation or study. A soft vine climbs the brick wall behind him, and two women converse in the distance, reinforcing the domestic, cultivated atmosphere. His relaxed posture and pleasant expression suggest the harmony of intellect and leisure, qualities highly esteemed in the 17th-century scholarly ideal. The lithograph was drawn by W F Hoevenaar and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht around 1850. Executed in lithographic technique and tastefully hand-colored, this print captures the spirit of Golden Age erudition and refinement. The print is in very good condition, with rich tone and clean surfaces, making it highly suitable for framing. Framing suggestion: Pair with a walnut or mahogany frame and ivory archival matting to complement the earthy tones and historical setting. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the hand coloring.

Jan van Galen – Heroic Dutch Admiral, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph This exceptional 19th-century hand-colored lithograph depicts Jan van Galen, a celebrated admiral of the Dutch Republic who played a pivotal role during the First Anglo-Dutch War. Born in 1604, Van Galen was known for his naval expertise and fearless leadership, most notably commanding the Dutch fleet in the Battle of Leghorn in 1653.
