"Allegorie op de troonopvolging van Leopold I door zijn zoon Jozef I, 1687" is an etching by the Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe. The print depicts the succession of Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, by his son Joseph I, in 1687. De Hooghe's allegory is a complex scene filled with symbolism, depicting the transfer of power through a chariot drawn by figures representing virtues, all under the watchful eye of Justice and Fortune. This artwork is an example of Dutch Baroque art, which often used allegory and dramatic composition to convey political and social messages.
