This etching by Romeyn de Hooghe, dating back to 1670-1699, serves as a title page for the Spanish-language edition of “Guerres de Flandres.” The image depicts a complex scene with multiple figures, including a crowned woman, a group of men carrying a figure on their shoulders, and fallen figures in the foreground. The composition is filled with symbolic details and references to the text, making it a rich and engaging piece of art. De Hooghe was a renowned Dutch artist known for his mastery of etching and his contributions to the visual culture of the 17th century. This artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and is a testament to De Hooghe's skill and the power of engraving as a medium for conveying complex narratives.
