we have some time for the 2d artist next week.
Lets add new flags we forgot and must add to the collection

(we are adding 2 for Norway thanks to feedback from Facebook)

Would it be possible to create a community fantasy national flags pack for DLC? Some of the flags are very historical but very boring looking. Some community members could design new flags inspired on historical sources?

dear admin, you should make some global flags available for all (from nations not yet in this game) like Portugal and or Austria for instance.

@admin I know you working on other protects but can we get a slider that we can make our flags bigger or smaller? That would be very cool. It has not a high priority but would be a cool feature.

Btw we could also have a slider to choose how worn our flags are maybe. If they are new or battlescared ( hope this word is right)

i give 60.000 doubloons for this one in the admiralty shop :))

Dutch admiralty flag (yellow flag with red lion and 7 arrows and sword )

impossible to find (someone?)

looking for call to search for...

Flag of the States General: Yellow, a red crowned lion with a sword and a bundle of arrows. On this detail of a painting by H.C. Vroom blows this flag on the large mast, the place where the flag of the sovereign is hoisted.

nl_sg.gif found only this graphical bad example...

(the blue can be made red,..  and the color of the yellow can be altered to some more goldish color)

What are the main ensigns on the 2 boats in front?

the painting: 

hDeparture of a Dignitary from Middelburg, Adriaen Pietersz. van de Venne, 1615

The warship De Zeehondt is being towed to sea from the harbour of Middelburg by four muscular draught horses. The identity of the departing person who is drawing so much attention from a multitude of lowand high-ranking people is unknown. However, it must have been someone of standing, for even Stadtholder Maurice’s yacht is present; it fires a salute.

https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/rijksstudio/artists/adriaen-pietersz-van-de-venne/objects#/SK-A-1775,4

 

 

the painting itself is a painting with the city of middelburg in theback (red flag with tower)    https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlag_van_Middelburg

zeeuwse-vlag-luctor-et-emergo.jpg?w=300&  province flag Zeeland (  Lions face towards the flagpole)

   260px-Middelburg_vlag.svg.png city of Middelburg

A previous flag had three horizontal stripes in yellow, white and red. This flag was named in 1739 and 1783 as the flag of Middelburg.

In the seventeenth century, according to some sources, a green-white-blue and an even green flag were also in use.

Note: the yellow-white-red flag appears to have different colors, but Bowles has shaded the flag correctly according to heraldic usage. (heraldic colors)

painting it is the lead out with four horses of the  ship "zeehond " [animal seal ] under the flag of city  middelburg province ZEELAND

 

the front left ship is the yacht of the Prince of Orange   

from the looks of it it must be the "Orange blanche blue"(old dutch flag  orange white and blue) flag and the royal coat of arms on it 

it is the original Prinsen flag 

260px-Prinsenvlag.svg.pngThe colors are in French orange-blanc-bleu. This was 'translated' in Dutch as orange blanc bleu.

 by the looks of it ......it has the coat of arms of the Prince on it ......  painters painted a recognition of the person in the painting

we also see the ( double)  prince flag       red- white- blue- red-white - blue

nl-pr2a.gif

 

the white flag seems to be some kind of royal flag >>> the french  Fleurs-de-Lis 

the flag on the stern looks like   Fleurs-de-Lis (french)

 perhaps there where some french guest on board or the prince he came from france harbor with a french captain  (???)

it is not a dutch flag.53296-full.jpg

 

{careful* colorization of the painting }

the red yellow red is probably just the middelburg flag*  (yellow -white -red)>  disputable*

but the flag can be Dordrecht or Gouda cities in the vicinity  

260px-Flag_of_Dordrecht.svg.png hoorn 

 

also red yellow red is spain in those days (remnants   ???  ) no other red yellow red in that area found yet....*

also Hoorn a city in the northern part of holland North holland (province) use this kind of colors seen in  picture below 

 

 

00123645.jpg.1200x630_q85.jpg

flag of Zeeland (province)

flag of middelburg (city)

Geus of Vlissingen (city)

Geus of Middelburg (city)

Geus van Veere (city)

 

 

green white green white  green white green .green white green seems to be Rotterdam ???

.  no blue white is found yet  in the vicinity of zeeland. (or it is a flag of high ranked coat of arms people flag) >>  correct [edit]  it is  enkhuizen  

the closest i can make of it is : flag of the city of  Rotterdam

rotterd3.gif is not in the painting (edit 01 03 2020) missing flag is found)

Edit * 01 03 2020

found the missing flags 

the red yellow red pennant is from the city Enkhuizen

also the flag dark bleu / white seems to be from that city Enkhuizen

in the picture below we see the crest of the city enkhuizen on the ship

VOC Rotterdam Chamber - Administrator

[VOC Rotterdam Chamber - Administrator?] by Mark Sensen, 30 July 1998

A painting by Ludolf Backhuysen with a view of the Rotterdam harbour shows a yacht with a white flag with the Rotterdam cypher and red-white-blue stripes at the top and bottom. According to Jos Poels (in [vxn] Vexilla Nostra no. 214) white flags with tricolour stripes at the top and bottom were used by administrators of the Navy Admiralities in earlier centuries. Maybe this was a flag of an administrator of the VOC Rotterdam Chamber?

https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/nl/mijn/verzamelingen/2657354--anouk-vdh/sea-ship-ahoy/objecten#/SK-A-11,0

in this painting the painter put his signature in the Administrators flag (Backhuysen)
