EDITORS COMMENTS
The Dutch Apollo, 1814" is a captivating print that captures the essence of an unsuccessful love affair. Created by Charles Williams and William Holland in 1814, this intriguing artwork tells a tale of seduction and heartbreak. In this cartoon-like depiction, we see George William Frederick Louis, later known as King II, desperately vying for the affection of English Princess Charlotte. Dressed in peasant attire with a comically large posterior, he kneels before her office while wearing Apollo's laurel wreath on his head. With a mouth harp in hand and a determined expression on his face, he tries to win over the princess. The picture portrays Princess Charlotte seated at her desk with an air of indifference towards the lovestruck Dutchman. Despite his efforts to impress her with his musical talents and grand gestures, it becomes evident that their engagement may not come to fruition. This image symbolizes unrequited love and shattered dreams as Holland broke the hearts of many who had hoped for an alliance between England and Orange. Quint Lox's interpretation adds depth to this historical moment captured by Charles Williams and William Holland in 1814.
