EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century print depicts the interior of the Schouwburg, or Theatre Royal, in Amsterdam during a performance for Willem V, the Prince of Orange and Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic, and his consort, Princess Wilhelmina of Prussia, on June 1, 1768. The tragic play "Demophontes" (Treurspel Demophontes) is being performed on stage, as evidenced by the actors in period costumes and the somber mood of the scene. The audience, dressed in their finest attire, watches intently from the ornate boxes and balconies, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of candles. The stage is set with intricate cardboard scenery, and the performers, including the renowned actor Fokke Simon, are prepared and focused. The consort, seated to the side, adds an air of royalty to the occasion. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th century Dutch theatre and the celebrations that surrounded the performances for the royal family. The Schouwburg, an important cultural institution in Amsterdam, played a significant role in the city's artistic and social life, and this print serves as a reminder of its rich heritage and history.
