This 1598 print, created by an anonymous artist, is the title page of the pamphlet *Antwoordt op het tweede Refereyn*. This satirical artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the Dutch struggle against Spanish rule. The central image is a ship representing the Dutch provinces, while figures on the ship represent various political factions. The image portrays the political climate of the time through symbolism, with the ship being manipulated by the Spanish. The artwork is a prime example of the use of visual satire to comment on political events, offering a powerful glimpse into the complex dynamics of the Eighty Years' War.
