Jacques-André-Joseph Aved

Jacques-André-Joseph Aved is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum.

Aved painted grand portraits of Dutch nobles in the 18th century. He captured Willem IV, Prince of Orange-Nassau, in a 1750–1751 portrait, stiff lace and all. These stiff, formal likenesses belonged to a tradition of high-society portraiture that stuck around long after the Baroque faded. Tap the portrait of Willem IV to see how courtly fashion met serious stillness in one frame.
