"De moedige Batavieren" is an anonymous etching from the 17th century depicting a satirical scene of the Dutch Revolt, a period of political upheaval and war for independence from Spain. The artwork portrays a group of Dutch citizens, including a woman holding a document, and emphasizes the bravery of the Dutch people in resisting oppression. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small work, measuring only 183 mm in height and 182 mm in width, but effectively captures the spirit of the Dutch Revolt in its graphic style. This print is a valuable historical artefact for understanding the cultural context of the 17th century Netherlands and its artistic portrayal of contemporary social issues.
