EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment in the 16th century. Titled "The Prince of Orange (1533-84) calming the Calvinists, 14th March 1567" this engraving by the Flemish School is housed in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, Belgium. In this scene, we witness William the Silent, also known as The Prince of Orange, taking charge amidst a chaotic cityscape. It is March 14th, 1567 - a pivotal day when tensions between Calvinists and their opponents reached a boiling point. With his commanding presence and strategic mind, The Prince of Orange steps forward to calm the agitated Calvinists. The image showcases an army gathered behind him with banners flying high against Spanish rule. The atmosphere is charged with energy as armed forces stand ready with halberds while cannons loom in the background. This historic event marked not only a revolt against Spanish dominance but also symbolized resistance against religious oppression. Through this powerful engraving, we are transported back to that fateful day where William's leadership skills shine through amidst chaos and turmoil. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from the Flemish School, it serves as a reminder of how one individual can make an enduring impact on history by standing up for justice and freedom.
