Haec Pompa funebris spectata fuit Batavorum Delphis, tertio die Augusti; Ao. 1584

This panoramic frieze, composed of multiple joined prints, documents the elaborate state funeral of the leader of the Dutch Revolt. The procession includes ranks of mourners, trumpeters, caparisoned horses bearing heraldic shields, and standard-bearers representing the various provinces and titles of the House of Orange-Nassau. Each group is meticulously labeled, culminating in the ornate funeral hearse containing the Prince's body.

While a historical and political document, the print illustrates the late Renaissance ritual of state funerals as a public meditation on death and political continuity. The involvement of Hendrick Goltzius, a key figure in Northern Mannerism with close ties to the Stoic and spiritualist circles of Dirk Volckertszoon Coornhert, places the work within the tradition of 'Memento Mori' and the formal ordering of public life.
