1650 1702 Accession Commemorating I Ii Will I Am
EDITORS COMMENTS
This contemporary Dutch engraving, titled "King William III and Queen Mary: A Contemporary Dutch Engraving Commemorating Their Accession," is a historical masterpiece that captures the momentous occasion of the accession of King William III and Queen Mary II to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland in 1689. The image, created in the year 1702, is a testament to the artistic skill and political significance of the time. William III, also known as William of Orange, is depicted in military regalia, holding a scepter in his right hand and a globe in his left, symbolizing his role as a world leader and his commitment to maintaining the Dutch Republic's global interests. Mary II, his consort and co-ruler, is shown in a flowing gown, holding a scepter and an orb, signifying her role as queen and her connection to the divine. The couple is surrounded by various symbols of power and authority, including the British lion and the Dutch lion, as well as the Tudor rose and the orange tree, which represent the House of Tudor and the House of Orange, respectively. The engraving also includes various allegorical figures, such as Fortuna, the goddess of fortune, and the personification of the River Thames, which symbolizes the unity of the English and Dutch peoples under their joint rule. This engraving is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the political and artistic climate of the late 17th century. It reflects the complex web of alliances and power struggles that characterized European politics during this period, as well as the artistic traditions and symbolism of the time. The image of William III and Mary II is a powerful reminder of their significant impact on British and European history, and serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve historical moments for future generations.
