In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the allegorical celebration of the birth of Princess Maria Amalia of Nassau-Dietz. The scene is filled with symbolism and grandeur, as renowned figures gather around the crib where the child rests. Kneeling beside the crib, we see Minerva, Juno, Cupid, and Flora. These mythical beings represent wisdom, power, love, and beauty respectively - all blessings that will surely accompany Princess Maria Amalia throughout her life. To their left stand peacocks belonging to Juno; their vibrant feathers symbolize prosperity and abundance. The backdrop showcases The Hague's iconic Hofvijver and Binnenhof buildings. This setting firmly establishes the significance of this event within Dutch history. The air is thick with anticipation as everyone present eagerly awaits news about this momentous occasion. One figure stands out from the rest: a majestic woman wearing an orange branch on her arm while proclaiming good tidings through a trumpet. She personifies fame (fama) itself - spreading word far and wide about this joyous birth. Printed by Cornelis van Dalen II in either 1649 or 1689 (the exact date remains uncertain), this artwork captures both artistic mastery and historical importance.

This print from Liszt Collection allows us to delve into a world where royal births were celebrated with utmost pomp and spl
