"Calvinistisch oproer in Antwerpen bedwongen, 1567" is a historical print by Johann Wilhelm (I) Kaiser. Created between 1847 and 1849, the artwork depicts a pivotal moment in the Dutch Revolt, where Prince William the Silent of Orange silences a Calvinist uprising in Antwerp. The print showcases a dynamic scene, with a focus on Prince William on horseback, his determined gaze emphasizing his authority, while the surrounding crowd, both supporting and opposing, illustrates the unrest of the time. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a visual insight into the complex social and political landscape of 16th century Antwerp.
