EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a solemn moment in history - the lying state of Stadtholder Prince Maurice, also known as Maurits (1567-1625), Prince of Orange. The image showcases the body of the deceased prince, depicted half-length and resting on a bed adorned with intricate details. The attention to detail is remarkable as it portrays the preparation of the corpse for its mortuary toilet and eventual burial. A delicate lace cap rests upon his head, adding an air of dignity to this poignant scene. The prince's nightwear further emphasizes the somber atmosphere surrounding his deathbed. Painted by Adriaen Pietersz. van de Venne around 1625, this copper print exudes a sense of reverence through its use of oil paint. The support measures approximately 7.3 cm in height and 12.1 cm in width, while the sight size is slightly smaller at 6.9 cm by 11.9 cm. Displayed within a frame measuring about 9.8 cm in height and 14.7 cm in width, this artwork invites viewers to reflect upon the passing of an influential figure like Maurits (Prince of Orange). Its historical significance combined with its artistic execution makes it an intriguing addition to any collection or exhibition
