Original fileThis print shows six named noblemen in formal mourning attire processing to the right. Two horses are draped in heavy black funeral cloths displaying the coat of arms of Orange, while other men carry tall poles with banners of a lion rampant. Large capital letters across the top of the image form a portion of a Latin commemorative title.
This work documents the state ritual and heraldry used to honor the 'Father of the Fatherland' during the Dutch Revolt. Created by Hendrick Goltzius, it represents the technical precision of the Haarlem school and the use of public ceremony to solidify political and familial legacy.
