This print titled "Allegorical representation portrait Willem V" is a stunning piece of art that showcases the intricate details and symbolism of the 18th century. In this scene, we see Willem V, the Prince of Orange-Nassau, depicted in a boat surrounded by two sea gods. The acclaimed man sitting in the boat holds a sheet of paper in his hand, perhaps representing an important document or decree. Above them, an ethereal woman holds a winch and laurel wreath while wearing an oval-shaped portrait of Willem V. This suggests her role as Fame or Fama, symbolizing the recognition and glory bestowed upon him. Adding to the celestial atmosphere is an angel blowing a trumpet high up in the sky. The presence of Neptune and his environment further emphasizes Willem V's connection to power and authority over water-related matters. The historical person mentioned on this artwork remains unknown but adds another layer of intrigue to its narrative. Created by Simon Fokke in Amsterdam during 1752, this etching on paper measures approximately 143mm in height and 95mm in width. It is truly remarkable how such intricate details were captured within such limited dimensions. Overall, this allegorical representation portrait offers viewers a glimpse into both artistic techniques prevalent during its time period as well as symbolic representations associated with royalty and fame.
