Aankomst van Willem III op Paleis Honselaarsdijk, 1691 1691

Romeyn de Hooghe’s 1691 etching, "Aankomst van Willem III op Paleis Honselaarsdijk," depicts the arrival of William III at the Palace of Honselaarsdijk in the Netherlands. The detailed scene shows the royal procession, including horses and dignitaries, approaching the grand palace. This artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into 17th-century Dutch courtly life and demonstrates de Hooghe's skill in capturing the grandeur of the event. The artwork is an important example of the Baroque style of etching, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow and its focus on detail.
