Portrait of Diederik van Durven, Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies
Portrait of Christoffel van Swoll (1662-1718)
Hendrik van den Bosch made formal portraits of Dutch East India Company leaders. His brush captured men like Dirk van Cloon and Diederik van Durven, each shown in rich oil on copper, keeping their rank visible in lace and gold. These stiff-collared faces belong to a vanished colonial world. Tap the copper portrait of Swaardecroon to step inside the 1720s boardroom of power.
