This engraving, *Amiens durch anlebung der Hispanischen kriegsmacht erobermen, den 13. Martii Anno 1597,* depicts the city of Amiens being besieged by Spanish troops in 1597. Created by Frans Hogenberg (1540-1590), it showcases the city's layout with detailed depictions of its fortifications. This bird's-eye view provides a valuable historical record of the siege and the city's architecture in the late 16th century. The engraving is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
