Painting Description
The "Portrait of Comte Maurice de Saxe (1696-1750) Aged Fifteen, c.1711" is a notable work by the Dutch painter Adriaen van der Werff, an artist renowned for his refined and meticulously detailed portraits and historical scenes. This particular painting captures Maurice de Saxe, a prominent military leader and the illegitimate son of Augustus II the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, at the tender age of fifteen. The portrait is believed to have been completed around 1711, a period when van der Werff was at the height of his artistic prowess.
Adriaen van der Werff, born in 1659 in Kralingen, near Rotterdam, was a master of the Baroque style, known for his smooth brushwork and the elegant, almost idealized portrayal of his subjects. His works often exhibit a high degree of finish and a delicate use of light and shadow, which are evident in this portrait. The "Portrait of Comte Maurice de Saxe" is a testament to van der Werff's skill in capturing the youthful vigor and aristocratic bearing of his sitter.
Maurice de Saxe, who would later become a Marshal of France and a celebrated military strategist, is depicted with a composed and dignified expression, hinting at his future prominence. The portrait not only serves as a historical record of Maurice's early years but also reflects the artistic trends and societal values of early 18th-century Europe. The attire and background elements in the painting provide insights into the fashion and cultural milieu of the time.
This work is a significant example of van der Werff's portraiture, showcasing his ability to blend realism with an idealized aesthetic. It remains an important piece for both art historians and those interested in the life and legacy of Maurice de Saxe. The painting is part of a broader collection of works by van der Werff that continue to be studied and admired for their technical excellence and historical significance.
