EDITORS COMMENTS
The painting "Triumvirate Assuming Power in the Name of the Prince of Orange, 21 November 1813" by Jan Willem Pieneman captures a pivotal moment in Dutch history. After years of French occupation, the Netherlands finally regained its independence on November 21st, 1813. The scene depicts the establishment of a provisional government at Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp's home in The Hague. In the center of the composition sits Van Hogendorp, draped in a luxurious fur robe, symbolizing his authority and leadership. Behind him stands Van der Duyn of Msdam, while Count of Limburg Stirum points towards two officers - Colonel Van Oldebarnevelt and Captain Heyns Van Bergen. These men played crucial roles in driving out the French forces. Notably present at this historic event are portraits hanging on the wall behind them: William of Orange and his half-brother Maurice. Their presence serves as a reminder that this triumvirate is assuming power on behalf of William Frederick, who had been invited back from England to become sovereign prince. This significant moment marked not only the end of French rule but also laid the foundation for an independent Netherlands under William I's reign. Pieneman's detailed brushwork and attention to historical accuracy make this painting an invaluable record that allows us to witness firsthand this important turning point in Dutch history.
