Beleg van Breda (blad middenrechts), 1637 1637

This detailed engraving by Balthasar Florisz. van Berckenrode depicts a bird's-eye view of the Siege of Breda in 1637. The artwork, a mid-right panel of a larger work, meticulously illustrates the surrounding landscape, fortifications, and strategic positions of the Dutch forces during the siege. This intricate map-like composition is a testament to the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with cartography and military tactics. The engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides a valuable historical record of this significant event in Dutch history.
