Overlijden van Willem IV 1751

This small silver medal, created by Johann Lorenz Natter in 1751, commemorates the death of William IV, Prince of Orange. The obverse features a profile portrait of the prince, while the reverse depicts a classical allegory of death. An angel holds a crown above a figure of Fame who mourns the prince's passing. The medal is a fine example of Natter's work as a medallist and provides insight into the conventions of commemorative art during the 18th century.
