EDITORS COMMENTS
Adriaen van Nieulandt's masterpiece, "Allegory of the Peace under Stadholder Willem II," painted in 1650, is a stunning Baroque oil on canvas work that captures the essence of the Peace of Munster, signed in 1648, which ended the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Dutch Republic. The allegorical figure of Peace, depicted as a beautiful woman, stands at the center, holding an olive branch and a scale, symbolizing balance and harmony. Surrounding her are various allegorical figures representing concepts such as Joy, Music, and Religion. The crowd of people in the background, including men and women of all ages and social classes, celebrate the newfound peace with joy and enthusiasm. The Prince of Orange, Willem II, is shown in the foreground, dressed in his royal attire, signifying his role as the head of state and the leader of the Dutch Republic. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details showcase the artistic skill of Adriaen van Nieulandt, a prominent artist of the Dutch Golden Age. The work is a testament to the historical significance of the Peace of Munster and the celebrations that followed, and is a cherished piece of heritage art in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
