This photo reproduction, likely taken between 1855 and 1885, captures a scene from Louis Gallait's famous painting “Last Honors to Egmont and Horne.” The artwork depicts the somber moment of the fallen Counts Egmont and Horne, who were executed in 1568 in the Dutch Revolt. The photo, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the powerful historical narrative of Gallait's original, though its small size, just 61 mm by 106 mm, limits the detail visible. Despite the anonymous photographer, the image still showcases the dramatic and moving scene of the Counts’ final moments. The photograph stands as a powerful visual testament to this important historical event.
