This anonymous engraving from 1621, titled “Afbeelding van alle door Spinola veroverde steden in 1620-1621,” depicts the cities captured by the Spanish general Ambrogio Spinola during the Eighty Years’ War. The work, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is divided into three sections. The top portion displays a grid of circular images, each representing a different city captured by Spinola. The lower portion showcases two detailed maps of the cities of “Ruanya Elwins” and “Werd,” illustrating their fortifications and strategic positions. The map’s intricate detail and visual clarity offer a fascinating glimpse into the military campaigns of the early 17th century.
