Nachtelijk tocht van Spaanse soldaten door het water naar Duiveland, 1575 1849 - 1851

Edouard Taurel's 1849-1851 print, "Nachtelijk tocht van Spaanse soldaten door het water naar Duiveland, 1575," depicts a historical event: the nighttime journey of Spanish soldiers through the waters to Duiveland in 1575. The scene is set against a dark, stormy sky, with ships and a large body of soldiers in the background. The soldiers in the foreground are wading through water, while a group of figures, including a priest, kneel on the ground. The composition, highlighting the soldiers' perilous journey, evokes a sense of drama and tension. The work is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
