EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Prince Charles Louis of the Palatinate with his Tutor Wolrad von Plessen, 1631" transports us back to a bygone era. Created by Jan Lievens in 1631, this masterpiece captures the essence of royalty and education. In this portrait, we see Prince Charles Louis of the Palatinate standing tall and regal beside his tutor, Wolrad von Plessen. Both figures are dressed in sumptuous historical attire that reflects their noble status. The composition is reminiscent of Aristotle instructing Alexander the Great during their formative years. The artist's attention to detail is impeccable; every brushstroke brings out the intricate patterns on their garments and showcases their refined taste. The rich colors used in this painting add depth and vibrancy to the scene. Lievens skillfully portrays not only a royal figure but also an intimate teacher-student relationship. Von Plessen's presence exudes wisdom and guidance as he imparts knowledge upon his young charge. This depiction serves as a testament to the importance placed on education within aristocratic circles during this period. Now housed at J.
