EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of a pamphlet titled "The Truth above all" from 1702. The artwork, created by Romeyn de Hooghe, features a naked personification of Truth standing beside a grand column. In the background, we can see the radiant monogram of Willem III, who was both Prince of Orange and King of England, Scotland, and Ireland during that time. The image is rich in symbolism as it portrays Truth as an ethereal figure with flowing hair and serene expression. She stands tall and proud next to the sturdy column, symbolizing her unwavering nature. The inclusion of Willem III's monogram suggests his endorsement or association with this concept of truth. Printed on paper using engraving techniques, this delicate piece measures approximately 99mm in height and 135mm in width. Additionally, there is a separate text sheet displaying the title "Truth" alongside its Italian equivalent "Verita" emphasizing its universal significance. This remarkable artwork transports us back to 18th-century Netherlands when political alliances were shifting and truth was highly valued. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times and allegiances, truth remains constant - an eternal pillar upon which societies are built.
