EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the historic moment of The arrival of His Majesty Charles II of England in The Hague on May 15, 1660. Painted by J.B. Bouttats in 1738, this masterpiece depicts the events that led to the restoration of Charles II's title after years of exile.
In the painting, we see Charles II landing in The Hague and being warmly received by courtesans on the right side. He then boards the 'Naseby', which he renamed 'Royal Charles', symbolizing his return to power and glory. In the background, we can spot the towers of Rotterdam and a ship firing to greet him as he sets foot on Dutch soil.
The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable, from the intricate coat of arms to the bustling port scene with boats and ships ready for transport. This piece not only showcases historical events but also highlights the artistic talent and skill of Bouttats.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in European history when a king reclaimed his throne with grandeur and grace. It serves as a reminder of resilience, determination, and triumph against all odds.
