Portret van Grimoald (I) after 1661

This engraving, created by Pieter de Jode II in the late 17th century, depicts Grimoald, son of the preceding Duke of Tuscany, who died in prison in Paris in 1658. The portrait is framed by an ornate oval, which features intricate detailing, a common characteristic of the Baroque style prevalent during de Jode's time. The text below the image provides biographical information about Grimoald, highlighting his early death in battle. This work, housed at the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates de Jode's skillful mastery of engraving techniques, while offering a glimpse into the lives of historical figures.
