Moord op de gebroeders de Witt 1672

This silver medal, created by the Monogrammist IVR in 1672, commemorates the assassination of the brothers Cornelis and Johan de Witt, prominent Dutch statesmen during the Dutch Golden Age. The obverse depicts the brothers being dragged through the streets of The Hague by a mob, while the reverse bears a Latin inscription referencing the event. This small but impactful work of art offers a glimpse into a turbulent period of Dutch history and the political climate of the time.
