EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Holland accepts peace and liberates herself from the clutches of the Holy Roman Empire and Spain. Painted by Charles Le Brun, this masterpiece adorns the ceiling of the Galerie des Glaces at Chateau de Versailles, France. The image is rich with symbolism, showcasing an olive branch representing peace held by a majestic lion symbolizing strength. Baroque angels surround them, their ethereal presence adding to the grandeur of this allegorical scene. The Hall of Mirrors reflects their triumph, creating an illusionistic effect that amplifies their newfound independence. Intricate details such as cornucopias overflowing with abundance and soldiers returning from war further emphasize Holland's victory over adversity. A peacock struts proudly amidst it all, its vibrant plumage embodying prosperity and beauty. The plafond also features a caduceus, symbolizing commerce and trade between nations. This highlights Holland's emergence as a powerful economic force during this period. Cherubs or putti playfully dance around the central figures, celebrating this monumental achievement in Dutch history. Their innocent joy adds a touch of whimsy to an otherwise weighty subject matter. This extraordinary piece serves as a testament to Holland's resilience and determination in breaking free from external powers that sought to control her destiny. It stands as both a historical record and an artistic marvel that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
