Spotprent op admiraal Sterrevelt, 1703 1703

This 1703 engraving, created by an anonymous artist, is a heroic depiction of Admiral Constantyn van Sterrevelt, a Dutch naval commander during the Golden Age of Dutch Exploration. The print showcases a large, detailed image of the admiral holding a staff and standing proudly over a panorama of a harbor with a fleet of ships, likely a historical event from van Sterrevelt's career. The print includes an inscription in Dutch, extolling his bravery, leadership, and accomplishments, making this a commemorative print celebrating van Sterrevelt's contributions to the Dutch Empire. The print's small dimensions, 480 mm x 317 mm, would have made it suitable for private collection.
