EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Maurice, Prince of Orange, a prominent figure in Dutch history during the 17th century. Painted by Michiel Jansz. van Miereveld between 1613 and 1620, this oil on panel artwork is now housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Maurice's significance stems from his appointment as stadtholder after his father's untimely death in 1584. This position held immense power within the Dutch Republic, and Maurice further solidified his authority when he was entrusted with commanding both land and naval forces in 1590. In this striking depiction, Maurice dons an opulent suit of gilded and engraved ceremonial armor bestowed upon him by the States-General to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Nieuwpoort in 1600. The prince exudes strength and dignity as he gazes confidently into the distance. The artist skillfully captures every detail, from Maurice's meticulously groomed moustache and beard to the intricate folds of drapery cascading around him. The regal ruff collar adds a touch of elegance to this full-length portrayal. This painting not only immortalizes a key player during Holland's Golden Age but also serves as a testament to van Miereveld's artistic prowess. It invites viewers to delve into Dutch history while marveling at its rich visual heritage.
