About this work
Allegory on the Peace of Münster. Triumphal procession of the triumphal chariot of Peace, which is led through the Vijverberg and an archway into The Hague. On the triumphal arch, the coat of arms of Frederick Henry and eight provincial coats of arms; atop the arch, Fortuna bestowing riches. In the sky, Fame and above her, a choir of angels. The original plate contained a representation honoring Frederick Henry after the capture of 's-Hertogenbosch in 1629. In this print, Peace takes the place of Frederick Henry. Below the print, a three-column verse by Reyer Anslo with the title 'Nederlandts vredevreught'.
