This cast iron stove plate, created after 1592 by an unknown artist, depicts the coat of arms of King Philip II of Spain surrounded by the coats of arms of the Seventeen Provinces. The intricate design highlights the historical context of the Dutch Republic's struggle for independence from Spain. The stove plate, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a tangible glimpse into the political landscape of the late 16th century.
