Frans Hogenberg's "Geldern gaat door verraad over aan de Spanjaarden, 1587" (c. 1587-1591) is a detailed engraving depicting the surrender of the city of Geldern to the Spanish forces in 1587. The artwork showcases the city walls and fortifications, as well as the surrounding landscape and the soldiers marching in. The visual narrative highlights the historical event and provides valuable insights into the Dutch Revolt and the strategies of warfare during that period. The engraving is an example of the artist's work as a cartographer and chronicler of important historical events.
