EDITORS COMMENTS
Dominicus Anthonius Peduzzi's captivating watercolor painting, "Willem met De Hoorn, Count of Orange, fights the Moors," transports us back to the 9th century, where the legendary figure of Willem, Count of Orange, engages in a fierce battle against the Moors. The Count, also known by numerous other names including William the Cuckold, William with the Short Nose, and Guillaume d'Orange, was a Duke of Aquitaine, Count of Toulouse, and the first prince of Orange. He is revered as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church and the patron saint of gunsmiths. In this dramatic scene, Willem is depicted rescuing his four stolen children from the hands of the Moors. The Count, dressed in armor and mounted on a powerful horse, brandishes a weapon in one hand and reaches out to grasp his children with the other. The Moor, clad in a colorful turban and headdress, is shown being subdued by a determined rider. The painting, created in the 19th century, is a stunning example of monochrome artistry, with the sepia tones adding depth and texture to the scene. The animals, both human and equine, are rendered with remarkable detail, and the intricate head dresses and turbans of the riders are a testament to the artist's skill. This evocative work of art, with its rich history and intriguing legend, is a must-see for anyone interested in European heritage, medieval history, or the art of Dominicus Anthonius Peduzzi. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the fortunate home of this magnificent watercolor painting.
