Begrafenisstoet van Willem van Oranje, blad 7

This engraving depicts a segment of the formal mourning procession for William the Silent in Delft. Seven men dressed in long cloaks and ruffs walk in profile, each holding a specific piece of the Prince's heraldic achievement, such as coats of arms or a feathered helmet. Above the figures, large capital letters continue the spelling of the Prince's name across the series.

As a work by Hendrick Goltzius, the leading figure of the Haarlem Mannerists, this series documents a pivotal moment in the Dutch Revolt while showcasing the period's intricate use of heraldry as a language of identity and virtue. The public staging of this funeral reflects late Renaissance attitudes toward the 'art of dying' and the preservation of historical memory through print.
