Wolfgang Wilhelm (1578-1653), count palatine of Neuburg, duke of Gulik and Berg

The portrait was painted in 1804 by Willem Bartel van der Kooi for Wolfgang Wilhelm, count palatine of Neuburg, duke of Gulik and Berg. It entered the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands Art Collection and remains in the museum's depot RCE. The work measures 147 cm by 117 cm and depicts its subject as a dignified figure in formal attire.

The painting was created during van der Kooi's period of service at the Dutch court and reflects the Neoclassical style popular in the early nineteenth century. Its provenance is documented through the Rijksmuseum's catalog, which notes its acquisition as part of the national art collection.

The portrait of Wolfgang Wilhelm by Willem Bartel van der Kooi is held within the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands Art Collection (RCE). It is currently stored in the depot of the Rijksmuseum rather than on public display. The work was created in 1804 and depicts the Count Palatine of Neuburg.

This oil painting, created in 1804 by Willem Bartel van der Kooi, portrays Wolfgang Wilhelm, a 17th-century nobleman who held the titles of Count Palatine of Neuburg, Duke of Gulik, and Duke of Berg. The work is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.

Given the time gap between the subject's life and the painting's creation, the work may reflect 19th-century interests in historical figures or a revival of styles from earlier centuries. However, specific contextual motivations for its creation are not provided.

The painting's legacy is tied to its presence in the Rijksmuseum, contributing to the institution's collection of historical portraits. Its significance lies more in its representation of Wolfgang Wilhelm than in being a landmark of Dutch painting, given its late creation by an artist not as prominently recognized as others of the Dutch Golden Age.
