Zeeslag bij Kamperduin, 1797 1797 - 1798

This anonymous engraving, created between 1797 and 1798, depicts the heroic defense of Dutch Vice Admiral de Winter against three British warships during the Battle of Camperdown. The scene is rendered in a detailed, if somewhat simplified, manner, with a focus on the ships and their cannons firing. The inscription below the image provides historical context and details the date of the battle, which took place on October 11, 1797. The engraving is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
