EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Philips of Nassau-Dietz: A Dutch Soldier and Statesman Laid to Rest in the Late 16th Century" This evocative image captures the solemn scene of the funeral procession for Philips of Nassau-Dietz (1558-1595), a prominent Dutch soldier and statesman, as he is laid to rest in the late 16th century. The print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Dutch Republic during a pivotal period of its development. Philips, a scion of the influential House of Nassau, rose to prominence as a military leader and a diplomat. He served under the command of Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange, in the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule. Philips' military prowess was demonstrated in numerous battles, including the Battle of Turnhout (1597), where he led the Dutch forces to a decisive victory. However, Philips' influence extended beyond the battlefield. He was a shrewd politician and played a crucial role in the Dutch States-General, the governing body of the Dutch Republic. His diplomatic skills were instrumental in securing alliances with other European powers, such as England and France, which helped strengthen the Dutch position against Spain. The image portrays Philips' funeral procession, which is attended by a large crowd of mourners, including soldiers, dignitaries, and common people. The somber atmosphere is accentuated by the dark, stormy sky overhead, and the pallbearers, dressed in black, carry the coffin adorned with the Nassau coat of arms. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the significant contributions made by Philips of Nassau-Dietz to the Dutch Republic during a time of political and military upheaval. It also underscores the enduring legacy of the House of Nassau, which continues to be celebrated in Dutch history.
