Allegorische triomfoptocht van een vorst of veldheer 1671 - 1746

François van Bleyswijck's *Allegorische triomfoptocht van een vorst of veldheer* (1671-1746) is a detailed etching of an allegorical triumphal procession. The work features a victorious leader seated in a chariot pulled by an elephant, surrounded by figures and symbols of power and victory. Above the scene, angels and putti fly, symbolizing divine favor. The work's detailed rendering and use of allegorical imagery suggest a complex message about the nature of power and victory, likely intended for an elite audience interested in the finer points of visual symbolism. The etching, currently located in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of van Bleyswijck's skill as a printmaker and a testament to the enduring power of allegorical art.
