This print depicts Jan Six (1618-1700), a prominent Dutch statesman, writer, and burgomaster of Amsterdam during the Golden Age of the Netherlands. Jan Six was born into a prominent Amsterdam family and received a thorough education in law and literature. He began his political career in the city council of Amsterdam and rose through the ranks to become burgomaster in 1662, a position he held for over three decades. During his tenure as burgomaster, Six played a crucial role in the city's governance and diplomacy. He was a key figure in Amsterdam's successful defense against the French invasion in 1672 and played a significant role in the city's economic prosperity. Six was also an accomplished writer and published several works on history, politics, and literature. This print, created during Six's lifetime, captures the essence of his distinguished career and contributions to Amsterdam's history. The artist masterfully portrays Six in the traditional attire of a Dutch burgomaster, complete with a fur-trimmed robe and hat. The intricate detail in the print, from the folds of the fabric to the delicate embellishments on the hat, showcases the artistry of the time. Jan Six's legacy continues to be celebrated in Amsterdam and beyond. His leadership and vision helped shape the city into a thriving cultural and economic center during the Dutch Golden Age. This print serves as a testament to his enduring impact on Dutch history and the rich artistic traditions of the time.
