Prince James of England
1660
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows a man in fancy armor holding a baton. He’s wearing a dark blue coat with silver buttons and a white collar. Behind him, a curtain looks like it’s made of heavy red fabric with gold tassels hanging down. The armor is detailed, with shiny metal and a mix of dark and light colors. The man’s face is serious, and the background is simple but adds drama with its dark and light contrast. This style is part of the Baroque movement.
