Description: | In 1625 Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange (1584-1647) married Countess Amalia van Solms-Braunfels (1602-1675); see companion portait, also in Brodick collection. Their son William II, Prince of Orange, married Mary, Princess Royal of England and Scotland (daughter of King Charles I of England). Their grandson Prince William III of Orange became King William III of England. On the death of his elder half-brother Prince Maurits of Orange in 1625, Frederick Henry was immediately elected Commander-in-chief and later that same year Stadholder of the Northern Netherlands. He appears in this portait as a military commander, in full armour by a powerful rusticated wall. His plume and armband are in the colour of the house of Orange. | Subjects: | Prince of Orange) portrait (Frederick Henry | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) Æ Previously attributed to studio of Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) Previously attributed to Honthorst, Gerrit van (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1590-1656, active in Italy) Previously attributed to Pourbus, Frans, the younger (Flemish painter, 1569-1622) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8588... | Go to resource |
