Santiago, Navidad en het gevecht met de Spanjaarden, 1615 1617 - 1646

This anonymous engraving from the 17th century depicts a battle scene between the Dutch and Spanish forces in the Caribbean. The bottom panel shows the battle taking place, with both sides firing muskets and cannons. The top two panels depict a map of Santiago and the island of Navidad. The top right panel also depicts a strange image of a large fish swimming through the sea, which may represent the dangers of the Caribbean. This artwork provides a glimpse into the brutal realities of colonial warfare and the Dutch rivalry with Spain.
