Het wapen van Amsterdam 1693 - 1704

This 17th century etching by Dutch artist Jacobus Baptist depicts the coat of arms of Amsterdam. The design features two lions supporting a shield with three red crosses on a white background. Above the shield is a crown and a cross. This engraved image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of civic heraldry, offering a glimpse into the visual identity of Amsterdam during the Golden Age. The detail and precision of the engraving, demonstrates the mastery of Baptist’s skill.
