EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th-century oil painting by Johannes Lingelbach captures the arrival of Prince William II at the Estate Welna on the Amstel during the Attack on Amsterdam in July 1650. The Prince, dressed in full military regalia, is depicted on horseback, leading his troops across the Amstel River. The peaceful scene is contrasted by the chaos and destruction in the background, with smoke rising from the city and the sound of clashing swords and gunfire echoing through the air. The Estate Welna, located on the Amstel River in Amsterdam, was a strategic point during the Dutch-Spanish War. Prince William II, the Stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Guelders, Overijssel, and Groningen, led his troops to defend the city against the Spanish invasion. The painting captures the moment of his arrival, as he rallies his forces before the final assault on the city. The painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands during the 17th century. Lingelbach's use of color and light creates a vivid and dynamic image, bringing the scene to life. The animals in the painting, including horses and dogs, add to the sense of realism and authenticity. The painting was originally titled "Arrival of Prince William II at the Estate Welna on the Amstel during the Attack on Amsterdam, July 31, 1650." However, it has also been identified as depicting the arrival of Charles II at the Estate Wema on the Rotte during his journey from Rotterdam to The Hague in 1660. Regardless of its exact historical significance, this painting is a valuable addition to any collection of Dutch heritage art and a testament to the skill and artistry of Johannes Lingelbach.
