- Description
- The year 1672 is known as the Year of Disaster (Rampjaar). In April 1672 England and France declared war on the Dutch Republic. After French troops had crossed the River Rhine near Lobith on 12 juni 1672 the Dutch defensive lines crashed. Only by inundating a part of the provinces of Holland and Brabant, the so-called Waterlinie, Holland and Zeeland could withstand the attack. After William III had reached power and the State government had been overthrown, the fortress town Naarden could be recaptured on 12 September 1673 and a counter attack was started. The print by Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708) shows the succesful siege and capture of the fortress. De Hooghe depicted various scenes and persons with explanations. In the middle of the print is William III surrounded by his staff. Kneeling in front of the prince is the Mayor of Naarden. On the right the French troops leave the battle field.
