Decoraties 100-105 te Den Haag, 1747 1751

This anonymous print from 1751, titled “Decoraties 100-105 te Den Haag,” depicts five decorative panels that were likely part of a larger series. The panels feature symbolic imagery, such as a lion, a tree, and a woman holding flowers, alluding to civic virtue and national pride. This artwork exemplifies the use of visual allegories during the Dutch Golden Age to communicate political and social messages. The print, which is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a fascinating example of the artistic and cultural landscape of 18th-century Netherlands.
