Sold with Van Oldenbarnevelt’s “Remonstrantie aende Hooge ende Moghende Heeren Staten van de landen van Hollandt ende West-Vrieslant, Hillebrandt Iacobssz, ‘s-Gravenhage, 1618, 46 pp.”

Printed document containing the sentence of Johan van Oldenbarnevelt. Ever since the Battle of Nieuwpoort, the relation between Johan van Oldenbarnevelt and Prince Maurice of Orange had steadily deteriorated. When the Twelve Years’ Truce came into effect in 1609, the
situation only worsened. Maurice finally managed to seize power in 1618 and, cunningly, had his chief opponents arrested. After months of detainment in a makeshift jail behind the Ridderzaal, Van Oldenbarnevelt was sentenced to death. His execution was scheduled for the next morning. On the thirteenth of May 1619, Van Oldenbarnevelt and his valet Jan Francken were led to a hastily constructed scaffold, awaited by the executioner and Provost marshal of the States Army. Van Oldenbarnevelt’s famous last words were to his valet Jan Francken: “Maak het kort, maak het kort” (Be brief, be brief). He then knelt before a heap of sand on the scaffold and drew his nightcap over his eyes.
An etching depicting the beheading of Van Oldenbarnevelt, made by Jan Luyken (ca. 1696), is kept at the Rijksmuseum.
