Original fileThis engraving shows a line of twelve men in solemn mourning attire walking in a procession. The figures include noblemen like Philip of Nassau and the Count of Solms, followed by members of the States General and the Council of State. The men wear formal ruffs and long cloaks, characteristic of late 16th-century Dutch courtly and political life.
This work is a primary historical record of the 1584 funeral of William the Silent, the founding figure of the Dutch Republic. It was executed by Hendrick Goltzius, a leading figure of the Haarlem Mannerists whose technical skill and later allegorical works became central to the Northern Renaissance artistic tradition.
