EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Lords Montfoort Memorial Tablet, a remarkable piece of art that pays homage to the influential Lords of Montfoort. The memorial table is divided into two distinct scenes, each filled with symbolic elements and rich details. On the left side, we see Mary seated on a majestic throne, cradling the Christ child in her arms. Her expression exudes both serenity and excitement as she gazes upon her divine son. To the right of this enchanting scene, four gentlemen from Montfoort kneel in worship while adorned in uniform armor. Their presence signifies their unwavering loyalty and devotion to their lords. Above each figure hovers a coat of arms shielded by a helmet embellished with a crown and wings. These emblems represent their noble lineage and heraldic heritage. Standing proudly on the right side is Saint George, depicted as a knightly warrior martyr. He bears various attributes such as his iconic banner displaying a red cross on a white field, symbolizing his valiant fight against evil forces. The individuals portrayed from left to right are Jan I van Montfoort along with his great-uncle Roelof de Rover, uncle Willem de Rover, and possibly Hendrik de Rover Willemsz who remains anonymous but represents an important figure within this historical narrative. Painted around 1400 in Linschoten's Sint Janskerk church where it adorns the altar dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary herself; this masterpiece captures not only religious devotion but also commemorates significant events involving Count Willem of Hainaut's campaign against Frisians in 1345 - during which Jan I van Montfoort alongside Roelof de Rover and Willem de Rover tragically lost their lives serving under him. This awe-inspiring artwork measures approximately 69.5 cm high by 142.9 cm wide (with frame dimensions of 86 cm by 157.5 cm and a thickness of 6
