William I (1772–1843) was a
Prince of Orange and the first
King of the Netherlands and
Grand Duke of Luxembourg. William implemented controversial language policies, founded many trade institutions and universities, and adopted a new constitution. However, the southern Netherlands became increasingly marginalized, and in 1830 the
Belgian Revolution broke out. The war against the newly-declared
Belgium caused considerable economic distress for the Netherlands, and in 1839 William signed the
Treaty of London, which recognized Belgium. William abdicated the following year.

A
self-portrait of
Louis-Marie Autissier (1772–1830), a French-born Belgian
portrait miniature painter. He is considered the founder of the Belgian school of miniature painting in the nineteenth century. Born at
Vannes, in
Brittany, he joined the
French Revolutionary Army at
Rennes in 1791. On leaving the army in 1795, Autissier went to Paris and trained his art by studying paintings at the
Louvre. In 1796 he settled in
Brussels, but continued to divide his time between Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. Although he enjoyed great success in his career, serving as
court painter to
Louis Napoleon, French King of the Netherlands, and later to
Willem I, Autissier died penniless.

Cornelis Kruseman (25 September 1797 – 14 November 1857) was a Dutch painter. Born in
Amsterdam, he studied art with
Charles Howard Hodges and
Jean Augustin Daiwaille before moving to Italy via Paris in 1821. He remained in Italy for four years, working with and learning from artists
Jean-Victor Schnetz and
Louis Léopold Robert, and then moved back to the Netherlands and settled in
The Hague. He lived in Italy again from 1841 to 1848, leading him to be called the "Italian Kruseman", before returning once more to the Netherlands for the rest of his life. His works included portraits, biblical scenes, and depictions of Italian peasant life.
This picture is a self-portrait of Kruseman, which hangs in the
Museum Van Loon in Amsterdam.

Ambrosius Bosschaert (1573–1621) was a Flemish-born Dutch
still-life painter and art dealer. A rising interest in botany and a passion for flowers led to an increase in still-life paintings of flowers at the end of the 1500s in the Netherlands and Germany, and Bosschaert was the first great Dutch specialist in the genre. In this oil-on-copper painting, butterflies, a dragonfly, a bumblebee and a caterpillar are nestled among roses, forget-me-nots, lilies-of-the-valley, tulips and other flowers. The painting is in the collection of the
J. Paul Getty Museum in

Allegory of Vanity, a
vanitas completed by
Antonio de Pereda between 1632 and 1636. Works in this category of symbolic art, especially associated with
still life paintings of 16th- and 17th-century
Flanders and the
Netherlands, refer to the traditional Christian view of earthly life and the worthless nature of all earthly goods and pursuits. The
Latin noun
vanĭtās means "emptiness" and derives its prominence from
Ecclesiastes. Common symbols in vanitas include skulls, rotten fruit; bubbles; smoke, watches, hourglasses, and musical instruments.

Card money, printed on plain cardboard or
playing cards, was issued from the 17th to the 19th century to supplement the supply of money in several countries and colonies.
This playing card from
Dutch Guiana (now
Suriname), dated 1801, has a face value of
one guilder. In that colony, card money was first issued in 1761, initially backed by
bills of exchange from the Netherlands; but later it was released unsecured, and
inflation was an issue for much of the currency's lifetime, with the value fluctuating wildly until it was replaced with paper money in 1826 and formally discontinued two years later.

Helleborus orientalis, also known as the Lenten rose, is a
perennial flowering plant and a species of
hellebore in the buttercup family,
Ranunculaceae, native to Greece and Turkey.
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck described the species in 1789, giving it its current name of
Helleborus orientalis ("
Hellébore du Levant"). The species name is derived from the Latin
oriens ('east'). The common name derives from the plant's flowering during
Lent. Within the genus
Helleborus, it has been classified in the section
Helleborastrum, and is closely related to the other eight species in the section. These species are all highly
variable and
hybridise with each other freely.

Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) was a Swedish
botanist, physician, and
zoologist, who formalised the modern system of naming organisms called
binomial nomenclature. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy".
Born in the countryside of
Småland, Linnaeus received most of his higher education at
Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He studied abroad between 1735 and 1738, and published the first edition of his
Systema Naturae in the Netherlands. Upon his return to Sweden, he became professor of medicine and botany at
Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he continued to collect and classify animals, plants, and minerals, and published several volumes. At the time of his death, he was one of the most acclaimed scientists in Europe.

Netherlands, as seen from the river
Amstel at dusk. The tower was originally part of the Regulierspoort, one of the main gates in Amsterdam's medieval

Amsterdam Renaissance style, with an eight-sided top half and open spire designed by
Hendrick de Keyser, featuring a clock with four faces and a
carillon of bells. The name ("Mint Tower") refers to the time when it was temporarily used to
mint coins in the

Louis Wijnhamer (1904–1975), an ethnic Dutch humanitarian who was captured soon after the
Empire of Japan occupied the Dutch East Indies in March 1942. Prior to the occupation, many ethnic Europeans had refused to leave, expecting the Japanese occupation government to keep a Dutch administration in place. When Japanese troops took control of government infrastructure and services such as ports and postal services, 100,000 European (and some Chinese) civilians were interned in prisoner-of-war camps where the death rates were between 13 and 30 per cent. Wijnhamer was interned in a series of camps throughout Southeast Asia and, after the
surrender of Japan, returned to what was now Indonesia, where he lived until his death.

Woman Reading a Letter is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch painter
Johannes Vermeer, produced in around 1663. The central element of the painting is a woman in blue standing in front of an unseen window, reading a letter. The woman appears to be pregnant, although as pregnancy was rarely depicted in art during this period, some scholars have argued that the woman's rounded figure is simply a result of the fashions of the day. While the contents of the letter are not depicted, the composition of the painting is revealing. The map of the
Netherlands on the wall behind the woman has been interpreted as suggesting that the letter she reads was written by a traveling husband. Alternatively, the box of pearls barely visible on the table before the woman might suggest a lover, as pearls are sometimes a symbol of vanity. The painting is unique among Vermeer's interiors in that no fragment of corner, floor or ceiling can be seen. Part of the collection of the city of
Amsterdam as part of the
Van der Hoop bequest, it has been in the
Rijksmuseum since its inception.

Photograph credit: Max Büttinghausen; restored by Adam Cuerden Aletta Jacobs (1854–1929) was a Dutch physician and
women's suffrage activist. Jacobs strove throughout her life to change laws that limited women's access to equality, starting in 1883 with an unsuccessful court challenge and eventually achieving success 100 years ago today, on 18 September 1919, with the signing of a suffrage bill into law. She is also noted for founding the world's first birth control clinic, in 1882. As a child Jacobs yearned to become a doctor like her father and, despite existing barriers, she fought to gain entry to higher education and became the first woman officially to attend a Dutch university, and one of the first female physicians in the Netherlands. Providing medical services to women and children, she grew concerned over the health of working women, and although she continued to practice medicine until 1903, she increasingly turned her attention to activism with a view to improving women's lives. In addition to her suffrage work she led campaigns aimed at deregulating prostitution, improving women's working conditions, and promoting peace.
