DUTCH PROPAGANDA DURING THE BELGIAN REVOLT<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cGezigt op de stad Antwerpen, den dag na het Bombardement, op den 28 October 1830<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0 <\/em>[View of the City of Antwerp, the Day after the Bombardment, on 28 October 1830], lithograph made in 1832<\/strong> by Hilmar Johannes Backer<\/strong> after a painting by Izaak Schouman<\/strong>. Coloured by a later hand. Size: 45.7 \u00d7 58.7 cm.<\/p>\n

In 1815, after the retreat of the French occupiers<\/a>, William I<\/a> is crowned king of the Northern and Southern Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Fifteen years later, widespread discontent has taken root among the Belgian people. The Catholic south resents having a Protestant king. The French-speaking nobility are irritated that the government operates in Dutch, while liberals believe the king holds too much power and interferes in too many affairs.<\/p>\n

In 1830, the Southern Netherlands rise in revolt against King William I. He attempts to suppress the Belgian Revolution.<\/p>\n

This lithograph depicts the day after the bombardment of Antwerp by Dutch warships under the command of Dutch General Chass\u00e9<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We see General Chass\u00e9 (centre of the print, in blue uniform) inside the Citadel<\/a>, surrounded by members of the Council of Defence. The Duke of Saxe-Weimar<\/a> (to the right of Chass\u00e9, with a plume on his hat) is reporting on the outcome of the bombardment. In the background, the city with its still-smouldering bonded warehouses. On the River Scheldt, a squadron of Dutch navy ships, from left to right: the brig De Gier<\/em>, gunboat no. 4, the corvette Komeet<\/em>, gunboat no. 2, and the frigate Euridice<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Today, the bombardment of Antwerp would be condemned as a war crime, but the Dutch military staff depicted here seem pleased. Chass\u00e9\u2019s order to shell the city prompted French intervention, and in December 1832, the city fell into French hands.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands would not recognise Belgian independence until 1839.<\/p>\n
