Step back in time to one of the most glamorous moments of the Dutch Golden Age in Amsterdam. Feel the excitement of the crowd and hear the clatter of hooves on the cobblestones as the royal procession enters the city. With this masterpiece from antiekhuys.nl you are not only bringing a magnificent work of art into your home, but also a tangible piece of world history that brings the allure of a 17th-century palace directly to your own walls.
This authentic copper engraving by master engraver Salomon Savery is a testament to unparalleled craftsmanship. The sharp print on authentic 17th-century handmade paper shows every detail with beautiful contrasts: from the soldiers in full dress and curious citizens to the imposing temporary triumphal arch erected especially for this visit. It is a rare spectacle of power, architecture, and artistic perfection.
The image is plate 4 (or 5, depending on the edition) of the official illustrations in the famous book Blyde inkomst der allerdoorluchtighste koninginne, Maria de Medicis t' Amsterdam, which was published in 1639 by the respected printers Johan and Cornelis Blaeu.
The original designs for the triumphal arches and the scenes were created by the painter Claes Moeyaert, after which they were engraved by master engravers such as Salomon Savery or Pieter Nolpe.
This is an essential collectible for lovers of Dutch topography, historical prints, and the Golden Age.
