"Belegering van Hulst, 1596" is an anonymous 16th-century engraving that depicts a bird's eye view of the Siege of Hulst during the Eighty Years' War. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, details the fortified city of Hulst, with its walls and moats, surrounded by the Spanish camp during the siege in 1596. This historical artwork is a valuable visual representation of the complex military tactics and strategies of the Dutch Revolt.
