Timothy Cole's 1902 engraving "The Lances (Surrender of Breda)" is a black and white reproduction of Diego Velázquez's 17th century painting. The engraving depicts the surrender of Breda to the Spanish by the Dutch, capturing the moment of formal handover of the city's keys. Cole's work, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, is a testament to his mastery of the engraving technique, faithfully replicating the intricate details and dramatic composition of the original painting. The image emphasizes the historical event and its significance in a powerful yet refined manner.
