EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 16th century oil painting depicts Dirk van Bronkhorst, the valiant military governor of Leiden, lying on his deathbed during the prolonged siege of the city by Spanish forces in 1574. The man's determined expression and the laurel wreath on his head signify his heroic leadership and unwavering commitment to defending Leiden. With his last breath, he clutches the coat of arms of the city to his chest, uttering the words 'Houd het mijnen Leiden' - 'Keep Leiden mine.' The painting, which dates back to the Anglo-Spanish War, captures the essence of the era with its intricate apparel and rich colors. Dirk van Bronkhorst is dressed in a high-collared ruff, a fashionable accessory of the time, and his clothing is adorned with the colors and symbols of the Dutch resistance. The use of oil on canvas technique adds depth and texture to the image, making it a captivating piece of heritage art. The painting, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the siege of Leiden and the resilience of the Dutch people during the turbulent sixteenth century. Despite the uncertain outcome of the war, Dirk van Bronkhorst's final words echo the unwavering spirit of the Dutch people, inspiring future generations to hold on to their heritage and values.
