"Hollandia Regenerata" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray in 1796. Known for his sharp wit and keen eye for political and social commentary, Gillray's work often targeted the tumultuous political landscape of his time. "Hollandia Regenerata" specifically addresses the political changes in the Netherlands following the French Revolutionary Wars.

The print depicts the transformation of the Dutch Republic into the Batavian Republic, a client state of the French Republic established in 1795. Gillray's illustration is rich with symbolism and caricature, capturing the essence of the period's political upheaval. The central figure in the print is a personification of the Dutch nation, portrayed in a state of disarray and subjugation, reflecting the loss of independence and the imposition of French revolutionary ideals.

Gillray's work is characterized by its detailed and exaggerated style, which he employs to convey his critical perspective on the events. The print includes various allegorical elements, such as the presence of French soldiers and revolutionary symbols, to underscore the dominance of French influence over the newly formed Batavian Republic. The title "Hollandia Regenerata" itself is an ironic reference to the supposed "regeneration" or rebirth of the Dutch state under French control, suggesting that this transformation is more of a degradation than a true renewal.

As with many of Gillray's works, "Hollandia Regenerata" serves as both a historical document and a piece of political satire. It provides insight into contemporary British views on the spread of revolutionary ideals and the reshaping of European political boundaries. The print remains a significant example of Gillray's ability to blend artistry with incisive social and political critique, cementing his reputation as one of the foremost satirists of his era.
