Jeroen Adema & Tryntsje Nauta (Netherlands) Image Name: Johan Maurits van Nassau Photographer Name: Jeroen Adema & Tryntsje Nauta Year: 2020 This photograph is unusual in that it's part of a visual story telling: "This photo is part of a series, where we combined stories from the past with a modern element. In this photo you see Johan Maurits van Nassau (1604-1679), the ruler of the German principality of Nassau-Siegen. At the age of sixteen he became a soldier in the army of the Dutch Republic. Eventually, he becomes field marshal. In 1664 Johan Maurits comes to Leeuwarden for the funeral of his nephew, the Frisian governor Willem Frederik. On the way back he falls with his horse in Franeker through a bridge in the city centre. The accident is almost fatal for him. We photographed him in the modern day canal, on the exact same spot he fell through in 1664." ©Esteban Montero/Sony World Photography Awards #Photography
