King William I of the Netherlands (1772-1843), depicted in a painting by Jan Baptist van der Hulst, stands proudly among four generations of Princes of Orange. In this historical scene, William I, also known as "The Silent," descends the portal stairway of a tower, reminiscent of his mother, Princess Anne of Saxe-Meiningen, who kept the city's keys. His conscience, symbolized by Louise de Coligny, mother of his predecessor, William the Silent, looks on. This portrait is part of the series depicting the Dutch monarchs, with William I's earlier portrait as Prince of Orange featuring a bust right in an oval frame. The tragic event of the Murder of Prince Orange in Delft in 1584, which marked the beginning of the Dutch Revolt, is a significant part of William I's legacy. Despite the challenges of the past, his unwavering determination and leadership brought stability to the Netherlands and solidified its place as an independent nation.
