EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a momentous occasion in Dutch history, the Banquet of the Crossbowmen's Guild in Celebration of the Treaty of Munster in 1648. Painted by Bartolomeus van der Helst, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 232x547 cm and is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. In this grand group portrait, we see members of the St. George's Guard gathered around a lavishly set table. The atmosphere is one of jubilation and camaraderie as they celebrate the end of the Eighty Years War and the signing of peace with Spain. Captain Cornelis Jansz Witsen takes center stage, holding a silver drinking-horn while congratulating Lieutenant Oetgens van Waveren. The composition showcases a large group of seated men dressed in elaborate costumes adorned with ruff collars. They are engaged in lively conversation, enjoying food and drink amidst their fellow crossbowmen. A drum adds to the festive ambiance, providing rhythmic accompaniment to their merriment. This painting not only immortalizes an important historical event but also serves as a testament to Amsterdam's civic pride and unity during that time period. It symbolizes both victory and reconciliation as these brave men come together to toast peace after years of conflict. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from centuries past, it reminds us that art has always been a powerful medium for capturing moments that shape our collective memory.
