He is generally considered the greatest Dutch writer. During the emergence of the Dutch nation Vondel was the national poet; his occasional verse celebrated the triumphs of the United Provinces in a vigorous oratorical style. Some of his most famous works are ''Gysbrecht van Aemstel'' (1637), on a medieval Dutch theme, and the magnificent ''Lucifer'' (1654).<ref>http://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/people/vondel-joost-van-den.html</ref>
