A protestant, William of Orange (1650-1702) was invited by a conspiracy of English notables to depose the Catholic James II and assume the throne in his stead. The invasion, which was virtually bloodless, was successful and became known as the Glorious Revolution.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a modern version of a 17th-century portrait of William, Prince of Orange. Painted by Abraham Blooteling, the image captures the essence of this influential figure in European history. William, a Protestant leader, played a pivotal role in the Glorious Revolution of England during the late 17th century. Invited by English notables to depose Catholic King James II, he successfully led an almost bloodless invasion that resulted in his coronation as William III of Great Britain and Ireland on April 11,1689. In this portrait, William is depicted wearing an impressive suit of armor, symbolizing his position as a warrior prince. His regal presence exudes power and authority befitting a monarch. The intricate details captured by Blooteling's skilled hand highlight every strand of hair and contour on William's face. As co-ruler with his wife Mary II until her death in 1694, William continued to lead Great Britain and Ireland as their sole ruler. This photograph serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation that immortalizes one of Holland's most significant figures. The print collector responsible for preserving this piece has ensured its longevity for future generations to appreciate the legacy left behind by King William III - a man who reshaped British history through his actions during the Glorious Revolution.
