Painting Description
The "Portrait of Bartholomaeus Hansteen (1743-1820), Customs Officer in Kerteminde, Sitting at a Table Holding a Letter with the Name Pilo" is a distinguished work by the renowned Danish painter Jens Juel. Jens Juel, born in 1745 and active until his death in 1802, is celebrated for his masterful portraiture that captures the essence of Danish society in the late 18th century. This particular painting is a testament to Juel's skill in rendering both the physical likeness and the character of his subjects.
Bartholomaeus Hansteen, the subject of the portrait, was a customs officer in the Danish town of Kerteminde. His role would have been significant in the local economy, overseeing the regulation and taxation of goods entering and leaving the port. The portrait depicts Hansteen seated at a table, a common setting in Juel's portraits that suggests a moment of contemplation or work. Hansteen is shown holding a letter, which intriguingly bears the name "Pilo." This detail may refer to Carl Gustaf Pilo, a contemporary Swedish painter who also worked in Denmark and was known for his portraits. The inclusion of Pilo's name could indicate a correspondence or connection between Hansteen and the artist, or it might be a nod to the artistic milieu of the time.
Juel's technique in this portrait is characteristic of his style, with a focus on realism and attention to detail. The textures of Hansteen's clothing, the wooden table, and the paper of the letter are rendered with meticulous care. The lighting in the painting highlights Hansteen's face, drawing the viewer's attention to his thoughtful expression and the subtle signs of age and experience.
This portrait not only serves as a personal memento of Bartholomaeus Hansteen but also as a historical document, providing insight into the lives of Danish officials and the artistic connections of the period. Jens Juel's ability to convey both the individuality of his subjects and their broader social context makes this work a valuable piece of cultural heritage.
