EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent painting "William III on a grey charger observed by Neptune, Ceres and Flora" by Godfrey Kneller. The artwork depicts William III & II, a distinguished Prince of Orange from the House of Orange-Nassau, mounted on a powerful grey horse. As he rides through the ethereal skies, he is watched over by mythological figures such as Neptune, Ceres, and Flora. The composition exudes an air of grandeur and power with its portrayal of William III in regal Stuart costume and imposing armor. The presence of Mercury in the sky adds an element of mystique to this romantic scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing both the strength and gracefulness of both man and beast. This painting not only celebrates William III's royal lineage but also pays homage to ancient mythology with its inclusion of mythological deities observing his journey.

As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever on canvas – a testament to the skillful artistry of Godfrey Kneller.
