"Aanslag van Helling en Ruychaver op Amsterdam, 1577" is an etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke, created in 1782. The artwork depicts a historical event, the 1577 attack on Amsterdam by the Dutch rebels Helling and Ruychaver. It shows a fortified gate with soldiers attacking from the left, smoke billowing from an explosion. The etching is housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a fine example of Fokke's skill in capturing historical events in detail.
