About This Piece

Composition & Subject

made1636-8
Oil on canvas
213.3 x 189 cm
National Gallery, London, United Kingdom.

Govaert van Surpele (1593 - 1674) was a native of Diest in South Brabant, where he held the post of President de la Loi in 1636/7, as well as being a member of three local militia companies. He married first Catharina Cools, who died in 1629, and then in 1636 Catharina Coninckz. The painting, which shows the van Surpele arms (top centre), probably dates from the time of Govaert's second marriage.

The composition was designed originally as a three-quarter-length portrait. In the final painting the substantial figures, shown at full length, have a commanding presence, while a domestic note is sounded by the dog crouching on the floor. Van Surpele holds upright in the centre of the painting his staff of office, to which his wife gestures with her left hand.

Collectors often choose this fine art image when searching for fine art oil painting that feels substantial rather than decorative or disposable.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each canvas is painted entirely by hand with professional oil paints on artist-grade cotton canvas. No printing, giclée, or digital imaging is used at any stage, so the surface keeps the slight relief and color variation of real brushwork.
