EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white mezzotint print, created by the renowned Dutch artist Jan Verkolje in the 1650s, showcases a young and determined William III of Orange, also known as Prince William I or Prince William III of Nassau, when he was still the Prince of Orange. The image captures the essence of the Baroque era, with its grandeur and opulence, as William III is depicted in ornate attire, donning a high-collared doublet, a voluminous cloak, and intricately designed sleeves. William III was a significant figure in European history, serving as the Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic and later becoming the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland in 1689. This portrait, created during his early years as a prince, reflects his regal status and the power he would later wield as a monarch. The print is a testament to the rich fashion trends of the 17th century, providing a glimpse into the clothing styles of the time, particularly the intricate details of men's apparel. This historic artwork is now part of the extensive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the museum's commitment to preserving and sharing the artistic and cultural heritage of Europe during the Baroque era. The image is a fascinating reminder of the complex history of the Low Countries, where William III's reign marked a significant turning point in the political landscape of Europe.
