EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, 'Arrival of the Earl of Leicester at Flushing, 1585,' is a masterpiece by the 19th-century Belgian artist Pieter van Looy. However, it is essential to clarify that this artwork is not an accurate representation of the historical event it depicts. The title suggests the arrival of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, in Flushing, Holland, in 1585. In reality, this painting portrays the arrival of Frederick V, Elector Palatine, and his wife, Elizabeth Stuart, at Flushing on April 29, 1613. The image showcases a majestic English fleet anchored near the coast of Flushing, Zeeland, Netherlands. The sailing ships, with their billowing sails and intricate rigging, create a stunning contrast against the calm waters. In the background, the city of Flushing stands proudly, its towering buildings and church spires visible amidst the landscape. At the top of the print, sixteen numbered flags of the ships are displayed. The central figure in this painting is the Earl of Leicester, depicted on a grand ship, greeting the newlyweds as they arrive. The Elector Palatine, Frederick V, and Elizabeth Stuart, the Electress Palatine, are shown on a smaller vessel, waving to the crowd. Frederick V, also known as Frederick the Winter King, was the King of Bohemia from 1619 to 1620, while Elizabeth Stuart was the Queen of Bohemia. Their arrival at Flushing marked the beginning of their journey to claim the Bohemian throne. This painting is an exquisite representation of the grandeur and splendor of the 16th and 17th centuries, making it a must-see for art and history enthusiasts alike.
