Redout van Willemstadt 1624 - 1652

"Redout van Willemstadt" is an etching by the Dutch Golden Age artist Bonaventura Peeters I, created between 1624 and 1652. The etching depicts a Dutch redoubt, a type of small fort, located at Willemstad. The redoubt is depicted with a tower and a fence, with multiple ships sailing past. The etching is a fine example of Peeters's skill in depicting ships and maritime scenes. The detail on the ships and the waves creates a sense of movement and realism. This etching, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the rich maritime history of the Netherlands.
