EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Princes of Orange and their Families on Horseback, Riding Out from The Buitenhof" in The Hague during the early 17th century. Painted by Pauwels I van Hillegaert, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 144.6x214 cm and is currently housed in the Mauritshuis museum. The painting depicts a picturesque scene with the Hofvijver lake as its backdrop, flanked by the tree-lined Lange Vijverberg on one side and the majestic Binnenhof buildings on the other. Two prominent figures of Dutch history, Prince Maurice (1567-1625) and Prince Frederick Henry (1584-1647), sons of William I, can be seen leading their families on horseback. Amidst a lush landscape filled with noble trees, these aristocratic individuals exude power and status as they ride through the city. This artwork captures not only their nobility but also reflects elements of Protestantism prevalent during that time. As part of the House of Orange-Nassau, these princes played significant roles in shaping Dutch history. They were instrumental in establishing the Dutch Republic and maintaining its sovereignty against external threats. "The Princes of Orange and their Families on Horseback" offers a glimpse into an era known as the Dutch Golden Age when art flourished alongside political achievements. It serves as a reminder of both royal lineage and societal values that prevailed during this period.
