"De inwoners van Zierikzee trekken Karel de Stoute tegemoet en smeken om genade, 1472" is a 1795 etching by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles. The artwork, housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts the moment when the citizens of Zierikzee (a Dutch town) are kneeling before Charles the Bold (Duke of Burgundy) to beg for mercy during a 1472 siege. The detailed etching captures the scene’s dramatic tension through intricate lines and contrasts in light and shadow. This work demonstrates Vinkeles' skill in capturing historical moments with evocative detail.
