"Alteratie van Amsterdam, 26 mei 1578" is a 1728 etching by Hendrik Post depicting a historical event: the expulsion of the clergy and government from Amsterdam in 1578. This small-scale print (measuring only 110 mm by 134 mm) shows a bustling scene with numerous figures in period dress, the prominent buildings of Amsterdam, and details like a dog and a flying object. This artwork offers a glimpse into the city’s turbulent history and the complex political landscape of the Netherlands.
