Allegorie op het verbond van Nederland met Amerika, 1782 1782

"Allegorie op het verbond van Nederland met Amerika, 1782" (Allegory on the Alliance of the Netherlands with America) was created by Cornelis Brouwer in 1782, a time of great political change in Europe and the United States. This engraving depicts the personified figures of the United States and the Netherlands, along with an inscription celebrating their newfound alliance. The image is a testament to the complex historical relationships between these countries during the American Revolutionary War. The Rijksmuseum, where this artwork is housed, is a significant repository for Dutch art and history.
