Twee voorstellingen van Franse wreedheden, 1672 1673 - 1677

This anonymous etching from the 17th century, titled "Twee voorstellingen van Franse wreedheden, 1672," depicts two scenes of French cruelty during the Franco-Dutch War. The top scene shows French soldiers on horseback, with one standing over a fallen figure. Below, a ship has been attacked, with people drowning and others fighting for their lives. The artwork serves as a powerful testament to the brutality of war and the suffering of innocent people. It's currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
