Description
English: De Ruyter was the highly revered naval hero in command of the Dutch fleet during the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1664–7). As such he was the most celebrated of Dutch seamen and was thought to be the most able commander of the seventeenth century. In 1667, the same year as the production of this portrait, he achieved a striking success when he invaded the Medway. The high esteem in which he was held is evinced in this majestic official portrait. This painting is one of a series of six near-identical state portraits of the eminent Lieutenant-Admiral, Michiel de Ruyter produced by Ferdinand Bol between 1667 and 1669. These works were commissioned by the governors of regional Admiralties to celebrate the Dutch victory at the Four Days Battle of 1666 under de Ruyter's command. De Ruyter’s hero status made him a powerful man. In the portrait he is richly dressed and holding his commander’s baton. Around his neck he is wearing the Order of St Michael, awarded to him by the King of France.
Nederlands: Michiel de Ruyter, Admiraal ter Zee, won glorieus van de Engelsen tijdens de Vierdaagse Zeeslag in 1666. Ter herinnering liet hij zich portretteren door de Amsterdamse portretschilder Bol. Op de achtergrond is een zeegezicht te zien met De Ruyters vlaggenschip.

Kniestuk staand voor een open gordijn en balustrade, waarachter rechts een zeegezicht met De Ruyter's vlaggeschip de Zeven Provinciën. De geportretteerde leunt met zijn rechterarm op een globe, met in de rechterhand een commandostaf. Hij draagt de Franse orde van St. Michiel. Op de tafel voor de globe een kaart van de kust van Zeeland en Vlaanderen met in het midden het eiland Walcheren, waar De Ruyter geboren is.

Het portret zit nog in zijn originele, 17de-eeuwse vergulde en gesneden lijst. Het is een trofeeënlijst met een schitterende verzameling van wapentuig: trommels, vaandels, kanonnen en kruitvaten. Midden boven staat De Ruyters familiewapen.
