Ontmoeting tussen Frederik Hendrik en Thomas Preston 1641

This etching by Pieter Nolpe depicts the historical event of the Spanish garrison leaving the city of Gennep and marching toward Venlo in 1641. The scene is composed of numerous soldiers on foot and horseback, with figures in the foreground witnessing the departure. The inscription at the top details the event, placing the artwork in the context of the Eighty Years' War, a period of conflict in the Netherlands. This historically significant work is a visual testament to the ongoing struggle between the Dutch and Spanish forces.
