EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a historical moment of tension and power dynamics between two influential figures in European history. In Vlissingen, upon his departure from the Netherlands in 1559, Philip II, King of Spain confronts William I, Prince of Orange. The scene unfolds on a jetty, with the backdrop of a ship's sails billowing in the wind. Philip II is depicted on the left side with his retinue, firmly grasping Prince William's hand while pointing at him accusatorily. The Spanish king accuses the prince personally for leading the resistance of the nobility against Spanish rule. On the right side stands Prince William and some members of his entourage, hat in hand as a sign of respect or submission. In front of them all kneels a Spanish soldier holding a casket symbolizing authority and control. To their left are two boys accompanied by an adorable dog adding an innocent touch to this otherwise tense atmosphere. This artwork was created by Cornelis Kruseman in 1832 using canvas and oil paint. It measures an impressive height of 270 cm and width of 200 cm. The image offers viewers a glimpse into this significant historical event where political power clashes with personal ambition. It serves as both a visual record and reminder that even great leaders can be challenged by those who dare to resist their authority.
