Johan and Cornelis de Witt were 2 powerful brothers from the Dutch Golden age of the 17th century. Cornelis was the mayor of Dordrecht. Dordrecht was one of the most important cities that contained the Dutch fleet and Johan was the statesman of the Republic of Holland. Johan was a free market, libertarian who believed in small government and more power to local authorities and helping the merchant guilds. Unfortunately, Johan mismanaged a war and was disliked by the royal named Willem van Oranje. This led to the accusation of an attempted murder of the Willem that led to Johan's imprisonment in The Hague in the 'Gevangenpoort' and eventual death at buitenhof. Most famously know for its people cannibalising Johan's liver out of spite. This led to the Mother begging for Cornelis de Witt his life but he was assassinated by a lynch mob. This gave rise to the first king of Orange and turned the Dutch Republic into a Monarchy.

The statue was erected in 1918 in memory of grand pensionary Johan de Witt and his brother Cornelis de Witt. The statue is a national monument.

Dordrecht is filled with history, these two brothers definitely contribute to that

Johan ( 1625-1672 ), raadpensionaris van Holland en zijn broer Cornelis ( 1623-1672 ) , ruwaard van Putten en burgemeester van Dordrecht , kregen in 1918 dit standbeeld in Dordrecht .

Dat was 246 jaar nadat de broers De Witt in Den Haag door het gepeupel waren vermoord . Het stanbeeld is een ontwerp van Dupuis. Het opschrift is uit Palamedes , een hekeldicht van Van Den Vondel '' overschot is nagedachtenis , vroom is dapper ''.

Het naturalistische , bronzen standbeeld toont de broers in 17de-eeuwse kledij . Johan draagt een kalot ( een klein zijden hoofddeksel in de vorm van een bolkap ) op zijn hoofd en zit op een stoel. Zijn broer Cornelis leunt tegen de stoel en houdt in zijn linkerhand een wandelstok . Onder het beeld is het wapen van de familie De Witt aangebracht , met de namen van beide broers.

Er bestaat een legende In Dordrecht dat de broers soms van plaats wisselen. Het beeld is een Rijksmonument.

De gebroeders Johan en Cornelis De Witt werden op 20 augustus van het rampjaar 1672 in Den Haag gelyncht uit angst voor rampen en oorlog, door leden van de plaatselijke schutterijen. Hun lichamen werden ernstig verminkt en delen ervan werden verkocht. Geen van de daders werd gestraft. Deze politieke dubbele moord gaat door als één van de meest beschamende gebeurtenissen in de geschiedenis...
