Deel van de optocht, nr. 8 1559

"Deel van de optocht, nr. 8" is an engraving by Joannes van Doetechum, depicting a scene from a procession. Created in 1559, it shows figures dressed in elaborate costumes, one holding a flag with a lion, another leading a horse, and a third holding a leash. The intricate detail of the costumes and the dynamic poses of the figures capture the grandeur and ceremony of the procession. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of 16th-century printmaking and offers a glimpse into the pageantry of historical processions.
