EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable silver medal commemorating the coronation of William and Mary in 1689. Created by an English School artist from the 17th century, this medallion measures approximately 5.9 cm in diameter and belongs to the esteemed Timothy Millett Collection. The intricately designed reverse side of the medal depicts a powerful scene symbolizing the union between Belgium and England under William III and Mary II's reign. Britannia, personifying Britain, warmly welcomes Belgium as it bears William's shield. A column adorned with a lion's head and the cap of Liberty stands tall, representing strength and freedom. In the distance, one can spot Williams' fleet sailing proudly on calm waters. The attention to detail in this piece is truly astonishing; every element carefully crafted to convey historical significance. This medallion serves as a tangible reminder of an important moment in history when William III and Mary II ascended to become King and Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland. It captures not only their royal status but also highlights their naval power through allegorical representations. With its baroque style, symbolic imagery, and exquisite metalwork craftsmanship, this commemorative medal holds immense historical value. It represents unity between nations while honoring significant figures who shaped international relations during that era. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this extraordinary piece from Fine Art Finder for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its rich historical context intertwined with artistic brilliance.
