Pieter Pieterszoon Hein – Dutch Naval Hero, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph

About the Item

Pieter Pieterszoon Hein – Dutch Naval Hero, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph Item Description: This finely detailed 19th-century hand-colored lithograph depicts Pieter Pieterszoon Hein, one of the most legendary figures of the Dutch Republic’s naval history. Born in 1577 in Delfshaven, Hein gained lasting fame in 1628 when he captured the Spanish treasure fleet near Cuba, securing a massive fortune for the Dutch during the Eighty Years' War. His daring tactics and success made him a national hero and a symbol of Dutch maritime power. Hein is portrayed in full military regalia, standing confidently with a sword in one hand and a plumed hat in the other. Behind him flies a Dutch flag, and at his feet lie silver platters and cannonballs, direct references to his famed capture of Spanish treasure. His expression is composed and commanding, capturing both his strategic brilliance and patriotic legacy. This lithograph was drawn by Herman ten Kate and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht. It reflects the pride and drama of 19th-century Dutch historical portraiture, with hand-applied color and strong period detail.

Maarten Harpertszoon Tromp – Dutch Admiral, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph Item Description: This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph portrays Maarten Harpertszoon Tromp, one of the most legendary naval commanders of the Dutch Republic. Born in 1598, Tromp served as a lieutenant admiral and played a crucial role during the Eighty Years’ War and the First Anglo-Dutch War.

Located in Langweer, NL
Jacob Cats – Dutch Poet and Statesman, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph Item Description: This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph portrays Jacob Cats, one of the most beloved poets and moralists of the Dutch Golden Age. Born in 1577, Cats served as a jurist, politician, and Grand Pensionary of Holland, but he is best remembered for his richly illustrated emblem books and rhymed moral teachings that were household staples in the Netherlands for centuries. His work influenced generations of Dutch families and writers alike. Cats is depicted seated at his writing desk, pen in hand, with books and manuscripts surrounding him. His composed yet thoughtful expression, modest attire, and scholarly setting all reflect the dual life he led as both a literary figure and a statesman. The background features shelves of books, a richly patterned tablecloth, and finely detailed textures that emphasize his intellectual world. This lithograph was drawn by W F Hoevenaar and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht. It demonstrates the refined character and quiet dignity often associated with Cats' legacy, rendered with subtle, hand-applied color and careful linework. Details: - Subject: Jacob Cats, Dutch poet, jurist, and statesman - Date: Circa 1850 - Technique: Hand-colored lithograph - Artist: W F Hoevenaar - Printer: P W van de Weijer, Utrecht - Sheet size: [Insert measurements here] - Condition: Good; well-preserved with clear detail and minimal signs of aging - Printed title below image: Jacob Cats Framing Suggestion: Best presented in a classic wooden frame with archival matting and UV-protective glass.
