EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative oil painting by Mathieu Van Brée captures a poignant moment in Dutch history as Prince William II, also known as The Prince of Orange, pays a visit to the Almoners Orphanage in Amsterdam on 14 February 1825. The Prince, who was also the King of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxembourg, is depicted in the painting wearing a military uniform, standing amongst a group of flooded and devastated interiors. The orphanage, which was located in the heart of the city, had been inundated by heavy rains and flooding, leaving its residents and staff in dire straits. The Prince's visit served as a symbol of hope and compassion during a time of great hardship. The painting, with its muted colors and somber mood, captures the sense of loss and despair that must have pervaded the orphanage during this period. The class divide is also evident in the painting, with the Prince standing tall and proud, while the orphans and staff huddle together in the background, their faces etched with worry and sadness. This powerful painting is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of compassion and empathy during times of crisis.
