EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Allegory of the Position of William III as Savior of the Fatherland, 1672" captures a powerful and symbolic scene. In this artwork by Jan Luyken from Amsterdam in 1690, we see a depiction of Dutch Virgin lying in bed, visibly sick. At the foot of the bed, adorned with the coat of arms representing the Seven Provinces, stands the Dutch lion tenderly licking a portrait of Willem III. On the left side, there is a figure personifying Religion engaged in prayer. This composition beautifully illustrates various allegorical representations and themes. The visiting doctor attending to Dutch Virgin is believed to be Constantijn Huygens. The image conveys deep symbolism through its portrayal of sickness and healing, highlighting Willem III's role as savior for his fatherland during troubled times. Additionally, religious elements are present throughout this piece; Religion herself appears devoutly praying while holding symbols associated with Christian faith such as Religione vera christiana (Ripa). This suggests that religion played an integral part in guiding and supporting William III's actions. Jan Luyken skillfully captured these complex ideas on paper using etching techniques. Measuring at approximately 136 mm high and 178 mm wide, this print showcases intricate details that invite viewers to delve into its historical significance. Overall, this artwork serves as a testament to William III's pivotal position within Netherlands' history and his unwavering commitment to protecting his nation during turbulent times.
