EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound allegory of the farewell between William III and Amalia van Solms, following the transfer of regency to the States General. The composition is rich with symbolic elements that depict the significance of this transition in power. On the far left, we see an empty stadtholders seat, symbolizing William III's departure from his role as future stadholder. To its right sits Amalia van Solms, representing her relinquishment of influence over affairs of state. In a striking scene on the right side, Prince William III is assisted by Minerva as they ascend a grand staircase leading to a temple. This temple gate is adorned with weapons representing each of the Seven United Provinces and signs of zodiac, emphasizing unity and cosmic order. The presence of river gods on one side signifies prosperity and abundance while dancing allegorical figures wearing freedom hats on lances represent liberation and autonomy. These elements together create an apotheosis-like atmosphere surrounding this momentous event. Painted by Theodoor van Thulden in 1661 using oil on canvas technique, this artwork beautifully encapsulates various aspects related to rulership such as patronage by Minerva, courtly life within a ruler's family, and ultimately highlights Willem III's journey towards becoming not only Prince of Orange but also King of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
