De drie hoofdrolspelers in de samenzwering tegen Maurits, 1623 1623

This 1623 engraving titled "De drie hoofdrolspelers in de samenzwering tegen Maurits" (The Three Main Actors in the Conspiracy Against Maurice) by an anonymous artist depicts a scene from the Dutch Golden Age. The work is part of a larger collection of satirical prints commenting on the political climate of the time. The three prominent figures, identified by text as Hendrick Pieterzoon Statius, Reinier van Barnevelt, and Adriaan Adriaanszoon van der Duyck, are portrayed in a critical light as part of a conspiracy. This satirical print, held by the Rijksmuseum, is an important primary source for understanding the historical context of the period.
