Elfde eeuw 1667 - 1672

This anonymous etching, titled *Elfde eeuw*, depicts a timeline of historical events from the 11th century. The artwork, created between 1667 and 1672, uses a unique visual language to represent historical figures, battles, and events in a stylized, allegorical manner. The figures are shown as small, almost cartoonish representations, situated on a landscape resembling a mountainous terrain, with the numbered years marking the timeline. *Elfde eeuw* offers a glimpse into the artist's perception of history, with the visual arrangement providing insight into the historical understanding of the 17th century.
