Baptista van Doetechum's "Beleg en inname van Rheinberg door Maurits, 1601" is a detailed etching depicting the Siege of Rheinberg in 1601. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, presents a bird's-eye view of the fortified city, showcasing the strategic positions of the Dutch and Spanish armies during the siege. The intricate detail of the map-like image, including the defensive walls, waterways, and the deployment of troops, demonstrates the technical skill of Doetechum, known for his accurate portrayals of military events. This print, like many of his works, provides valuable insights into the history of military strategy and the Dutch Golden Age.
