EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print, titled "Allegory on the Flourishing of the Dutch Fishery after the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-67)," is a testament to the triumphant spirit of the Dutch fishery following the end of the Second Anglo-Dutch War in 1667. The print, attributed to Willem Eversdyck, showcases a vibrant and intricately detailed scene filled with maritime symbols and figures of significance. At the center of the composition, Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, is depicted with his trident, symbolizing his power over the sea. He is surrounded by various figures representing the Dutch admirals and commanders who played crucial roles during the war, including Adriaan Banckert, Aert Jansse van Nes, Cornelis Evertsen the Younger, and Michiel de Ruyter. These admirals are shown in the act of presenting their catches to Neptune, symbolizing their successful fishing expeditions and the abundance of the Dutch fishery. Other figures in the print include Adriaan van Trappen and Jan Evertsen Binkes, who are depicted as fishermen, and Aucke Stellingwerf, who is shown as a fisherman's wife, offering food and drink to the weary sailors. The print also features various fish species, symbolizing the diversity and richness of the Dutch fishery. The Baroque style of the print is evident in its dynamic composition, rich colors, and intricate details. The use of allegory in the print serves to celebrate the Dutch victory in the Second Anglo-Dutch War and the prosperity of the Dutch fishery, which was a significant contributor to the Dutch economy during this period.
