This satirical broadside, created in 1672 by an anonymous artist, depicts Bernhard von Galen, the Bishop of Münster, riding a donkey after his failed siege of Groningen. The scene, likely meant for a Dutch audience, mocks the Bishop's military ambitions, using visual humor to critique his failed campaign. The artwork is currently located in the Rijksmuseum, serving as a historical reminder of a significant event in Dutch history.
