EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Prince Maurice of Nassau-Oranje (1625-1652), the younger brother of Prince Rupert of the Rhine, during a pivotal moment in English history. The image, dated around 1650, shows Prince Maurice, a renowned military commander and a staunch royalist supporter, signing a document related to his involvement in the English Civil War (1642-1651). Born in The Hague, Prince Maurice was the eldest son of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange, and his wife, Princess Louise Juliana of Nassau-Siegen. He was raised in the Dutch Republic, but his close relationship with his English cousins, the Stuart monarchs, drew him into the tumultuous events of the English Civil War. In 1642, Prince Maurice joined his older brother, Prince Rupert, in supporting King Charles I against the Parliamentarian forces led by Oliver Cromwell. Together, they played a crucial role in several key battles, including the Battle of Marston Moor (1644) and the Battle of Naseby (1645), which ultimately led to the defeat of the royalist forces. Despite their military prowess, the brothers were unable to turn the tide of the war. In 1648, Prince Maurice was captured by the Parliamentarians and imprisoned in the Tower of London. He was later released in exchange for a large ransom, but he died in 1652, just a year after the execution of King Charles I. This poignant portrait, signed by Prince Maurice, serves as a reminder of the complex web of alliances and conflicts that characterized the English Civil War and the role that European princes and nobles played in shaping its outcome. The autograph adds a personal touch to the historical record, making this image a valuable and intriguing addition to any collection focused on the period.
