EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting, titled "Landing of King William of Glorious Memory at Carrickfergus" by Dutch artist Willem van der Hagen, depicts a pivotal moment in Irish history. Painted in 1728, the work commemorates the arrival of King William III of England and II of Scotland, also known as William of Orange, at Carrickfergus Castle in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, on 12th July 1690. King William's invasion of Ireland was a significant turning point in the Williamite War, a conflict that arose from the deposition of James II of England and the subsequent claim to the throne by his Protestant daughter Mary and her husband, William. This painting captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd as they gather to welcome their new monarch, who would go on to secure a Protestant victory and establish a new dynasty. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, with King William and his troops shown disembarking from their ships and making their way towards the shore. The castle and surrounding landscape are depicted with great accuracy, reflecting van der Hagen's skill as a painter and his knowledge of the region. The title "Glorious Memory" reflects the enduring significance of this event in Irish history, and the painting remains a cherished reminder of the pivotal role played by King William in shaping the country's political and religious landscape. Today, it is a valuable addition to the collections of the National Museums Northern Ireland, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors.
