Naarden 600 Jaar – A Knightly Ode to Dutch Heritage

Behold a visual symphony composed in shades of time: this exquisite 1950 commemorative poster, created to mark the 600th anniversary of the city of Naarden (1350–1950), is a masterclass in heraldic elegance and historical romance.

Rendered in a dreamlike grisaille, the design unfurls beneath a moonlit sky: a gallant knight astride a luminous white steed holds aloft a flowing banner, while his shield bears the dignified double eagle of ancient heraldry. Below him, a robed minstrel serenades a graceful lady weaving a garland—together, they stand in reverence before the bell tower of Naarden itself, the architecture appearing as a relic elevated on a plinth of memory.

Above them, the Latin motto "Omnia Sponta Fluunt"—"All things flow freely"—attributed to the philosopher Johan Amos Comenius, encapsulates the spirit of a city shaped not merely by stone and sword, but by culture, continuity, and quiet majesty.
