EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Floris V, Count of Holland and Zeeland, a prominent figure in 13th-century European history. In this artwork by Charles Rochussen, we witness Floris V accompanied by his wife Beatrice of Flanders and surrounded by his loyal nobles as they take a leisurely stroll through the enchanting woods. Legend has it that Floris earned the nickname "God of the Peasants" which adds an intriguing layer to this scene. As they wander amidst nature's beauty, a humble peasant family approaches them, symbolizing Floris' close connection with the common people. This encounter showcases his reputation for being compassionate and approachable despite his noble status. The artist skillfully brings this historical moment to life through intricate details and vibrant colors. The aged appearance of the print adds depth and authenticity to its depiction of a long-gone era. It serves as a window into Dutch history during a time when nobility held significant influence over society. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary ruler who defied convention by embracing both power and humility. Through art's lens, we can appreciate how Floris V left an indelible mark on Dutch culture while remaining connected to those he governed. This print is not only an exquisite work of art but also serves as a reminder that even centuries later, stories from our past continue to captivate us with their timeless allure.
