"Oranje Boven!" is a woodcut print from 1867-1883 by Alexander Cranendoncq, a Dutch artist who lived from 1799 to 1869. The print is a collection of 12 small scenes depicting various aspects of the Dutch Revolution, with accompanying poems in Dutch. It's part of a larger collection titled "Bremer's Prentenboek," a series of woodcuts with captions, and focuses on the popular slogan "Oranje Boven!", which translates to "Orange Above!" and was used as a rallying cry for the House of Orange during the revolution. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, measures 336 mm high and 429 mm wide.
