Produced in 1674, the work serves as a visual record of the Treaty of Westminster, which concluded the Third Anglo-Dutch War. The composition is divided into two distinct sections: an upper pictorial field filled with symbolic figures and a lower section containing a formal public proclamation of peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper portion depicts a complex allegorical scene. Figures representing the Netherlands and England are shown in a state of reconciliation, surrounded by maritime imagery that references the naval nature of the conflict. Savery employs a dense arrangement of symbols, including ships with flags of peace, personifications of virtues, and classical deities, to communicate the political climate of the era. The inclusion of text within the image, such as labels for the figures and locations like Whitehall, assists the viewer in identifying the specific diplomatic players involved in the negotiations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower portion of the print is dedicated to the text of the peace treaty itself. It is printed in a clear, formal typeface, providing the official terms agreed upon in London and subsequently proclaimed in The Hague. This combination of graphic illustration and printed document is characteristic of seventeenth-century Dutch broadsides, which functioned as both news media and political propaganda. The work offers a view into the visual language of diplomacy during the Dutch Golden Age, where complex political events were distilled into accessible, symbolic imagery for the public. The print is a precise example of how historical events were documented and disseminated through the medium of engraving, allowing for the wide distribution of political information across the Dutch Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Salomon Savery","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479435088207,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479455142223,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479455174991,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479455207759,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479455240527,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479455273295,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479455306063,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479455338831,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479455371599,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479455404367,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479455437135,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479455469903,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Allegorie-op-de-vrede-met-Engeland_Poster_CompositorV1_1786336927440.jpg?v=1786754453","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/allegorie-op-de-vrede-met-engeland-salomon-savery","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
