Haardplaat met Frederik Hendrik te paard c. 1625 - 1675

This cast iron fireplace screen, "Haardplaat met Frederik Hendrik te paard," depicts Prince Frederick Henry of Orange on horseback, a prominent figure in Dutch history. The screen is a prime example of the decorative arts during the 17th century, showcasing the artistic and technical skills of its anonymous creator. The inscription, "DE PRINCE VAN ORANJEN," identifies the subject and adds to the historical significance of the piece. This work of art, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the cultural landscape of the Netherlands during the Golden Age.
