This detailed engraving, created by Frans Hogenberg between 1629 and 1631, depicts the Siege of 's-Hertogenbosch, a significant military event in the Eighty Years' War. Hogenberg, a renowned mapmaker and engraver, uses a bird's-eye perspective to illustrate the strategic layout of the city and its surrounding fortifications. The intricate detail of the artwork captures the complexity of the siege, showcasing the positioning of the Dutch troops, the defensive structures of the city, and the surrounding landscape. The inscription at the bottom clearly states the subject matter - the siege of 's-Hertogenbosch by the Dutch Prince Frederick Henry of Orange. This work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in Dutch history.
