This etching, created in 1690 by Dutch artist Jan van Vianen, depicts the victorious King William III on horseback, with a banner proclaiming "Victories on Land" and "Victories at Sea." The image features the king standing triumphantly on a plinth, surrounded by figures representing vanquished enemies, while an angel in the heavens trumpets his glory. This work, part of a series celebrating the victories of William III, is a powerful visual representation of his military achievements and the political climate of the time. The engraving's detailed imagery and strong composition speak to the importance of propaganda and the celebration of military power in the late 17th century.
