[Schematic representation of the paintings decorating the triumphal arch on the square Buitenhof in The Hague, in honour of William III's visit in 1691] Schilderyen binnen de zeegeen eerepoorten voor het Hof [parallel text in French]
[Romeyn de Hooghe, published the Hague by Arnold Leers, 1691]
Etching, 17th century watermark; platemark 330 x 440mm (13 x 17¼"). Fold through centre as normal.
Four oblong designs and six larger scenes showing queen Mary, reproduced from a triumphal arch erected in honour of William III. Illustration to Govert Bidloo's 'Komste van Zyne Majesteit Willem III in Holland' (1691), etched by Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708), exponent of the late Dutch Baroque best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and his prints glorifying William III and the Glorious Revolution. De Hooghe's output as an artist was broad, however, and he had other talents and responsibilities: in 1689 he was placed in charge of obtaining building materials for the royal hunting lodge of Het Loo; the same year he became a Doctor of Law at Harderwijk University; he designed ceiling paintings for municipal buildings and church windows; and he wrote several political and historical treatises.
