Standbeeld van de graven van Egmont en Horne op de Kleine Zavel, Brussel 1864 - 1885

This photograph shows a monument to Counts Egmont and Hornes. The monument, which is in Brussels, was built between 1864 and 1885. The Counts were executed by the Spanish in 1568 for their opposition to the Duke of Alva. The photograph captures the monument in its original context, giving a view of the figures from the chest up. The sculpture is a powerful example of 19th-century commemorative art.
