Verdrinking van twee predikanten te Bonn, 1584 c. 1587 - 1591

Frans Hogenberg's "Verdrinking van twee predikanten te Bonn, 1584," a detailed engraving from the late 16th century, depicts the drowning of two Protestant ministers in the Rhine River at Bonn, Germany. The scene is captured from a bird's-eye perspective, showcasing the city's fortifications and the tumultuous water below. The engraving serves as a visual record of a significant event during the Reformation and provides historical insight into the religious conflicts of the time. This small-scale work is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and exemplifies Hogenberg's meticulous detail and ability to capture both historical and geographical accuracy in his engravings.
