„The Threatened Swan“ – Jan Asselijn – Higherself x Art Departure B – Organic Oversize Hoodie

Wings wide, beak open — a single swan guards its nest.
Painted mid-17th century, Asselijn’s scene reads like nature caught in instinct. But later hands added meaning: “Holland”, “Enemy of the state”, “Grand Pensionary De Witt”. The bird became symbol, defender, martyr.

Reframed here as the seventh piece in the Higherself x Art Departure series — a portrait of resistance in motion, where nature and nation blur into one act of defiance.
