EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Cornelis van der Mijle: A Dutch Statesman of the 16th Century". This evocative black and white portrait captures the stern yet resolute visage of Cornelis van der Mijle (1520-1578), a prominent Dutch statesman and diplomat of the 16th century. Born in the city of Delft, van der Mijle rose to prominence during a tumultuous period in Dutch history, marked by religious and political upheaval. The image of van der Mijle, dressed in the formal attire of the day, exudes an air of authority and wisdom. His piercing gaze and tightly pursed lips suggest a man deeply engaged in the complex political machinations of his time. As a member of the States of Holland, the legislative body of the Dutch provinces, van der Mijle played a pivotal role in the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule. He was a key figure in the negotiations that led to the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis in 1559, which brought an end to the Italian Wars and marked a turning point in Dutch history. Despite his diplomatic successes, van der Mijle's political career was not without controversy. He was accused of treason and was exiled from the States of Holland in 1567. However, he was eventually reinstated and continued to serve as a respected statesman until his death in 1578. This photographic print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political intrigue and religious conflict. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Cornelis van der Mijle, a Dutch statesman who played a crucial role in shaping the course of his nation's history.
