"Nachtelijk tocht van Spaanse soldaten door het water naar Duiveland, 1575," is an etching by Dutch artist Coenraet Decker, created between 1701 and 1703. The artwork depicts a historical event: the failed Spanish invasion of Duiveland, an island in the Netherlands. The image captures the chaos of the night attack, with soldiers wading through the water, sinking ships, and burning torches illuminating the scene. The etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a historical record of the event and a testament to Decker's skill in capturing the drama of the scene.
