EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when the Four Burgomasters of Amsterdam learn of the arrival of Maria de Medici on 1 September 1638. Painted by Thomas de Keyser, this oil on panel artwork measures 28.5x38 cm and is housed in the prestigious Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands. The scene depicts a group of Protestant officials and citizens gathered inside an elegant Dutch interior to greet the exiled Queen Maria de Medici. As a widow and regent for her son, King Louis XIII, she sought refuge in Brussels after conflicts with Richelieu. During her visit to Amsterdam, she was given a grand ceremonial royal entry. The painting showcases the opulent costumes and intricate lace collars worn by both men and women during the Dutch Golden Age. The seated male figures represent civic leaders or mayors who played significant roles in governing Amsterdam at that time. With its rich historical context and attention to detail, this group portrait offers a glimpse into diplomatic relations between European nations during this period. It highlights international affairs as well as cultural exchanges between Belgium (Flanders) and the Dutch Republic. As you admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let your imagination transport you back to that momentous day when these influential figures learned of Queen Maria de Medici's arrival – a meeting that would shape history forever.
