EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as it depicts the Prince of Orange, William I, on his way to Brussels. The illustration is taken from "The History of Protestantism" by James Aitken Wylie and was published in 1878. In this scene, we witness the grandeur and triumph of the Protestant leader as he gracefully navigates through a river crowded with spectators. The barge carrying the Prince stands out against the picturesque backdrop of lush riverbanks and cheering crowds. William I, also known as William the Silent, played a pivotal role in leading the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule during the 16th century. His determination and leadership made him an iconic figure in both Dutch history and Protestantism. The image exudes a sense of welcoming and celebration as people gather along the riverbank to witness their revered leader's entry into Brussels. It symbolizes not only William's personal triumph but also represents a significant milestone for Protestants during that era. This engraving beautifully encapsulates both historical significance and artistic prowess. It serves as a visual testament to one man's courage in fighting for religious freedom amidst challenging times.
