Nederlandsch Vrijheidsfeest. 1571 1872 Hulde aan de Watergeuzen 1872

"Nederlands Vrijheidsfeest. 1572 1872 Hulde aan de Watergeuzen" is an 1872 print by an anonymous artist. The print commemorates the 300th anniversary of the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule, and the Dutch victory at the Battle of Heiligerlee in 1572. The artwork depicts three figures, each symbolizing a different stage of the revolt: a rebel holding a sword, a figure representing the "HULDE aan de WATERGEUZEN" (tribute to the Watergeuzen), and a man holding a newspaper. The print is a powerful reminder of the Dutch struggle for freedom, and a testament to the courage of the Watergeuzen.
