Salomon Duarte is a Dutch Golden Age artist. 12 works are cataloged here, principally at Bavarian State Painting Collections.

Dutch Golden Age portrait painters kept family likenesses sharp and flattering. In the 1600s they filled canvases with nobles wearing lace collars and sober silks. Salomon Duarte’s brush left us Ludvig VI of Hesse-Darmstadt in 1665, his sister Countess Auguste Philippine the same year, and Henriqueta Doroteia beside them. All three glide across the same dark background in matching sober blacks. To see how the era treated silk folds and pearl strings, tap any portrait in the set.
