Constantijn Huygens was a poet, composer and connoisseur of art and the classics. He was also secretary and confidant to three princes of Orange for 62 years. Hofwijck was also the place where Constantijn's son Christiaan spent a significant part of his life. Christiaan Huygens was a member of the Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge and became one of the greatest inventors and scientists. At the end of his life, at Hofwijck, he wrote 'Cosmotheoros', his magnum opus on the universe. At Huygens's Hofwijck we look at the seventeenth century through the eyes of these two versatile men. With Constantijn and Christiaan, the story is about literature, art, music, politics, the House of Orange, science and life at a seventeenth-century country estate.

De veelzijdige Constantijn Huygens (1596-1687) was dichter, componist, architect, kunstkenner en, als secretaris van stadhouder Frederik Henderik, een van de invloedrijkste personen in het zeventiende-eeuwse Den Haag. In 1639 kocht de drukbezette Huygens voor zijn rust een stukje land onder Voorburg, waar hij in 1641-1642 een buitenhuis liet bouwen. Dit buitenhuis, Hofwijck genaamd, situeerde hij in een op zijn aanwijzingen ontworpen, bijna volmaakte klassieke tuin. Tien jaar later in 1651 voltooide hij een gedicht over zijn geliefde buitenplaats: Vitaulium of Hofwijck. Ieder die Huygens echt wil leren kennen, moet dit gedicht lezen. Het wordt nu voor het eerst uitgegeven in een verantwoorde vertaling vanuit het zeventiende-eeuwse naar het moderne Nederlands door Huygens-kenner Ton van Strien. Kees van der Leer geeft op grond van nieuw archiefonderzoek een fascinerend inzicht in de geschiedenis van Huygens’ buiten en schenkt uitgebreid aandacht aan Christiaan Huygens, de beroemde wis- en natuurkundige die lange tijd permanent op Hofwijck heeft gewoond. Het boek is ruim geïllustreerd met foto’s van de originele handschriften van het gedicht, met portretten van de bewoners, maar ook met onbekend gebleven afbeeldingen van het huis en de tuin.
