EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Charlotte de Bourbon, a prominent figure in the Dutch revolt against the Spanish during the late 16th century. Created by Hendrik Goltzius, a renowned Dutch artist of the time, this engraving measures 27x18.6 cm and is housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Charlotte of Bourbon, depicted here with regal elegance, was not only known as Princess consort of Orange but also as William the Silent's third wife. As an influential Protestant leader who played a crucial role in the rebellion against Spanish rule, her image is surrounded by framed scenes representing both biblical stories and elements from nature. The composition exudes a sense of power and religious devotion through its inclusion of symbols such as arms and references to Christian beliefs. This portrayal reflects not only Charlotte's position within society but also her commitment to her faith amidst turbulent times. Goltzius' meticulous attention to detail and his mastery of mannerist techniques are evident in this exquisite piece. The intricate ruff around Charlotte's neck adds depth to her character while emphasizing her status as a noblewoman. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to an era marked by revolution and war—a testament to Charlotte de Bourbon's significant contribution to Dutch history and religious freedom during one of Europe's most transformative periods.
