Zeeslag bij Malaga, 1704 1707 - 1720

"Zeeslag bij Malaga, 1704" is an 18th-century copperplate engraving by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk, depicting the Battle of Malaga, a naval battle between Anglo-Dutch and French fleets in 1704. The engraving, now held in the Rijksmuseum, captures the chaos and intensity of the fight, with ships firing cannonballs and smoke billowing across the sea. Schenk's detailed depiction of the ships and their crews, along with the realistic portrayal of the battle's ferocity, provides a visual narrative of a key moment in European naval history.
