Reinier Ziesenis's *Allegorie op de Vrede van Amiens, 1802* (1802) is an allegorical print that celebrates the Peace of Amiens, signed by the artist and dated 1802. The image features a central figure of Peace in the sky, surrounded by cherubs and allegorical figures representing commerce and navigation. The text "KOOPHANDEL. ZEEVAART HERSTELD DOOR DE VREDE," translates to "Commerce and Navigation restored by Peace," emphasizing the return to prosperity after the war. The artwork exemplifies Ziesenis's mastery of Neoclassical style through its emphasis on clarity, balance, and symbolic imagery.
