Mattheus Terwesten
Allegory of Peace

Em exibição em Sala 11

The lady sitting here on her throne represents Peace. A suit of armour lies unused at her feet, and she is holding a palm branch, while a white dove of peace is fluttering up into the air.

Mattheus Terwesten is a lesser-known painter, who made many of this type of decorative scene. They were often part of an interior and, like this painting, were incorporated into the panelling.
