Reinier Camminga, achtste potestaat van Friesland 1618 - 1620

This engraving by Pieter Feddes van Harlingen depicts Reinier Camminga, the eighth "potestas" of Friesland, a region in the Netherlands. Created between 1618 and 1620, the artwork portrays Camminga in full armor, standing in a landscape with his coat of arms and a deer crest displayed prominently. The meticulous detail of the engraving, with its fine lines and intricate patterns, showcases van Harlingen's mastery of the art form, providing viewers with a glimpse into the history and symbolism of the region and its leaders. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical artifact that contributes to our understanding of 17th-century Frisian society and its figures.
