"Allegorie op de Vrede van Nijmegen en andere gebeurtenissen in het jaar 1678" is an etching by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe. Created in 1679, the print depicts an allegorical scene of the Peace of Nijmegen, which ended the Franco-Dutch War. The artwork is filled with figures, including royalty and other prominent individuals, all carefully arranged around a central table. The scene also includes coats of arms, a depiction of a battle scene, and a blank space, possibly meant for text or additional details. This intricate and detailed etching exemplifies de Hooghe’s skill in capturing historical events and political figures through the art of engraving. The work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to its enduring historical significance.
