Portret van Philips van Marnix, heer van Sint-Aldegonde 1841 - 1879

This lithograph, titled "Portret van Philips van Marnix, heer van Sint-Aldegonde," was created by Edouard Taurel between 1841 and 1879. The artwork depicts a portrait of Philips van Marnix, a prominent figure in the Dutch Reformation. Taurel's skillful rendering captures Marnix's serious expression and the details of his attire, including a large ruff. The image is framed by an oval, and below it, a coat of arms with a unicorn and the inscription "Philips van Marnix, heer van Sint-Aldegonde," adds a historical context to the work. The lithograph is a testament to Taurel's artistic talent and provides a glimpse into the life of an important historical figure.
