Commentary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mennonites Maria Palm (Haarlem 1670-Amsterdam 1745) and Jan van Vollenhoven (Amsterdam 1670-Amsterdam 1737) celebrated their silver wedding in 1715; on this occasion<\/g> they commissioned Picart to make a print, but as it seems without a pamphlet or brochure. According to the \u00b4Explications\u00b4 they made their fortune by trading in of moose\/eland skins from America. After the death of her husband in 1737, Maria Palm took over the business on the Herengracht.[1]<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple is sitting on a sofa, situated in an abundant garden which is\nan allusion to the name Vollenhoven. The palm trees are\nlikewise referring to the last name of the spouse Palm. Hymen, the wedding god,\nis standing beside the couple with his flaming torch as if to show they are\nstill in love with each other. He is pointing to Cupid who drops a new arrow\nfrom his quiver to rekindle the love fire while the first one still smokes. Six\ncupids are eager to prepare the feast, like making garlands, pouring in a pot,\nand decorating. At the upper left the figure of America with a moose\/eland\nbehind her symbolizing the trade of the couple. At the upper right Fortuna signifies\ntheir wealth\/riches. Below\na Siren and a Triton exemplify that the trade of the coupe mainly takes place\nover sea. The motto Nova gaudia surgunt means New joy rises.

Commentary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mennonites Dirk van\nLennep (1693-1755) married Catharina de Neufville (Meerenberg Heemstede 1684-Amsterdam\n1729) on the 7th of July in 1716. They lived in Amsterdam, Herengracht 476, in\nthe so called .\u2019Gouden Bocht\u2019 (Golden Bend), where the rich merchants settled. It\nwas originally bought by David de Neufville (1654-1729), father of Catharina\nand a wealthy merchant in Amsterdam. After his death in 1729 Catharina\ninherited the place. The couple rebuilt it circa 1730 in a Louis XIV style. [2]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 1730 they were\nowners of the country estate \u2018Meerenberg\u2019 at Heemstede, which belonged to the\nproperty of the father of Catharina. The couple must have been quite rich\nbecause at the same time Dirk also bought the adjoining estate \u2018Leeuwenberg\u2019.\nBut already in 1732 it was sold to Catharina\u2019s sister Petronella de Neufville\n(1688-1749), widow of Jacob van Lennep (1686-1725).[3]<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A young man is held back\nby Liberty who has a yoke at her feet, to signify that he is about to lose his\nfreedom. But Amor is guiding him while he is offering a burning heart to his\nbride who is sitting on a bed. He is enchained with flowers by Cupid. His bride\nis pointing at Hymen who is lighting his torch as if to show how lucky the\ngroom is to marry her. Amor tries to persuade him to surrender, and Juno, who is\nscattering coins and jewels over them, designates the great riches which they\nboth possess. Their coats of arms are united in a cordate cartouche decorated\nby festoons of flowers. At the upper centre the scene is crowned by a cartouche\nwith the motto Nil vinclis dulcius illis meaning Nothing is sweeter than these\nshackles which is referring to the garlands by which the groom is enchained.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commentary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arent Bosch and Eletta\nThesingh got married on the 3rd of April 1718 in Amsterdam. According to one of\nthe poems in the brochure he was trading hemp, leather, sable skins, and talk\nfrom Russia, which made him a wealthy merchant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple is enchained\nwith garlands of flowers by Cupids. They send them to Hymen who is standing\nnext to the nuptial bed, lighting a torch. \nSeveral little loves are eager to burn perfumes to spread flowers. In\nthe background there is a sea referring to their business. At the left is Venus\nwho offers the couple her golden apple to signify the beauty of the bride. At\nher feet are two turtle doves and a Cupid is lighting up a fire. On the right\nside is Hebe with a beautiful drinking bowl with nectar in her hand, thereby\npreserving the couple\u2019s eternal youth. She is accompanied by the eagle of Zeus,\nher father. The ornate frame is crowned by two Cupids who are a holding up the\ninitials of the couple like a trophy. Below in a cartouche the motto Nil\nflammis pulcrius istis or Nothing is more beautiful than these flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commentary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debora van Vollenhoven\n(1692-1767) is the daughter of Jan van Vollenhoven and Maria Palm (see\nepithalamium no I). She married Abraham Bruin (1693-?) on the 4th of September\n1718. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within a decorated frame\nthe bridegroom is leading his bride to the Temple of Hymen who is inviting them\nto enter. Cupids navigate the couple with flowers and garlands. Behind is a\nmagnificent garden, which is an allusion to the name of the bride\n\u2018Vollenhoven\u2019. The genius of September is giving the key of this delightful\ngarden to the groom; in her other hand she is carrying a horn with the heads of\nlittle children to indicate a fertile offspring. At the lower left one of the\nCupids is playing his lyre, symbolizing the harmony of the marriage. (In the\npoems the groom is praised for his outstanding play on the lyre.) Outside the\nframe at the right is an apple tree, at the top the trunk is without fruits,\nwhich is an illusion the marriage which has metaphorically speaking not yet\nbloomed. But below, the branches are full of fruits due to one of Cupid\u2019s\narrows right in the middle of a heart on a shield attached to the tree, which expresses\nthe fecundity of the bride\u2019s marriage. At the lower centre the two coats of\narms of the couple are combined in a cartouche. In the background ships in the\nsea refer to their trade with America, and on the coast there are the goods in\nvessels. The picture frame is crowned by a cartouche with the motto: Non haec\nsine numine divum or Not without the will of heaven does this befall\/ not\nwithout divine influence does this come to pass. Source: Virgil, Aeneid, Book\n2, line 777.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a large cartouche\nwhich is attached to the central part of a column, the bridal couple join their\nright hands. The bride is accompanied by Hymen and Cupid who are lighting each\nother’s torch. They are all standing before the shrine of Concord (plate with a\nheart, garland with pomegranate on head, scepter? in left hand). Behind the\nbride we see her most important qualities: Fidelity (key and dog), Virtue\n(spear and sun in bossom, laurel in left hand), and \u2018Pudeur-Pudicit\u00e9-Pudency (veil),\nfollowed by Abundance (cornucopia). Behind the groom are Gentleness (sheep),\nChastity (phoenix), Temperance (bridle), and Prudence (mirror and snake). Still\nfurther a Cupid chases Discord represented by serpents, indicating that all dissention\nshould be banished for the purpose of a happy union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
