Portret van Johan de Liefde 1668 - 1690

This portrait of Johan de Liefde was created by Dutch artist Lambert Visscher in the late 17th century. The painting features de Liefde, a prominent figure in the Dutch navy, holding a telescope and standing before a table with nautical charts. Behind him, a window reveals a sea battle with smoke and ships visible, highlighting his maritime career. The inclusion of a globe at the lower right corner reinforces his association with exploration and discovery. This piece exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's interest in portraying prominent figures and depicting scenes of maritime conquest.
