In the Dutch Republic, Cornelis and Johan de Witt were two of the leading figures of the statesmen and were among the best-known Dutchmen of their time. Cornelis was a member of the vroedschap and regent in Dordrecht, ruwaard van de heerlijkheid Putten and baljuw van de Beijerlanden. Johan de Witt, lord of Zuid- and Noord-Linschoten, Snelrewaard, Hekendorp and IJsselvere, was advisory pensionary of the province of Holland for nineteen years in the Golden Age during the First Stadholderless Era. He was also a gifted mathematician, and is considered one of the founders of insurance mathematics. Both Cornelis and Johan were murdered by Orangists on 20 August 1672, after which their corpses were mutilated. The double murder is among the most memorable in Dutch history. Egidius Karel Gustaaf baron Wappers (aka Gustave; Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium 23 August 1803 - Paris, France 6 December 1874), was a Belgian history, genre and portrait painter.
