Willem II of the Netherlands, Bronze statue in central Tilburg, Netherlands.
The monument stands 8.45 meters tall, featuring King Willem II as army commander with four female figures representing different virtues at its base.
Created by sculptor Edouard François Georges in 1854 for The Hague, the statue was purchased by Tilburg in 1924 for 1000 guilders.
The pedestal displays battle locations where Willem II achieved military victories, including Quattre-Bras, Waterloo, Hasselt, and Leuven.
The monument received modern additions including a concrete pillar and an octagonal base that provides natural light during day and artificial illumination at night.
The statue contains a time capsule from 1996 with a laptop and CD-ROM, replacing the original lead box with historic documents from 1924.
