About this work

Large allegorical representation of the military successes of William III and the conquest of Grave, 26 October 1674. At the top, William III is crowned by Victory and Grave is added to the series of his victories. Fame blows a trumpet. In the foreground, Hercules and the Dutch Lion drive War and Discord out of the Dutch Garden; the coat of arms of Grave stands on the gate. In the background, the personifications of the provinces. At the bottom, a frieze with a Roman triumphal procession and the prince's monogram.
