EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a pivotal moment in European history. Painted by Gerard ter Borch or Terborch, this oil on copper print measures 45.4x58.5 cm and is housed in the National Gallery, London. The artwork depicts the signing of the Peace of Westphalia, also known as the treaties of Munster and Osnabruck. These treaties marked the end of the devastating Thirty Years War and brought about significant political changes across Europe. In this scene, we witness Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III alongside other German princes, France, Sweden, and Cardinal Mazarin - de facto leader of France - solemnly swearing their oaths to ratify the treaty on October 24th, 1648. The painting symbolizes a turning point in European politics as it recognizes important milestones such as Dutch independence from Spain after eighty years of war and Switzerland's recognition as an independent nation. The composition beautifully captures both tension and relief among those present at this historic event. The artist's attention to detail brings each character to life while emphasizing their role in shaping Europe's future. This print serves as a reminder not only of past conflicts but also highlights how diplomacy can bring about lasting peace and reshape nations' destinies. It stands testament to humanity's ability to find common ground even amidst turmoil—a timeless message that resonates with viewers today.
