Armorial Elegy of 1600: A Heraldic Memorial, 1730

About the Item

Tomb of Gerard van Randenrode van der Aa, Pieter van Cuyck, 1730 - 1736 Antique print titled 'Hier leit begraven de weledele Joncheer Gerard van Randenrode (..)'. Coat of arms of Randenrode geseyt van der Aa. This print originates from 'Beschryving van 's Graven-Hage (..)' by Jacob de Riemer. Published 1730. Tomb of Gerard van der Aa, esquire of Randenrode, in the Grote or Sint-Jacobskerk in The Hague. Van der Aa lies in armor on a plateau supported by two putti. Above him nine coats of arms, including that of his family. The print is a heraldic engraving that features an array of family crests or coats of arms, each with distinctive heraldic symbols and designs signifying noble lineage or family heritage. The crests are richly ornamented with various heraldic devices such as feathers, animal motifs, and geometric patterns. The family names inscribed beside each crest on the print include: - Borghvael - Cuyck - Heym Beecke - Kerreman - Litre - Ver Liminghen - Pypenpoy. At the bottom, there is a figure of a knight in full armor lying down, which is a common motif in heraldic art symbolizing chivalric values or a memorial representation. The text below this figure is in an older form of Dutch detailing the name of Gerard van der Aa includes the date he died. The date mentioned in the text appears to be the 16th of October, 1600s (indicated by "MDC"). The inscription suggests that the print is a commemorative piece, perhaps for an individual associated with the names on the crests.
