Vier episodes uit de vaderlandse geschiedenis 1722 - 1784

"Vier episodes uit de vaderlandse geschiedenis" (Four episodes from Dutch history), a series of four etchings by Simon Fokke, showcases key moments in Dutch history. The four scenes, depicted in the 18th century, include a gathering in a town square, a formal gathering, a seated group of individuals around a table and a maritime scene with a ship in the distance. The small size of the etchings allowed for a more intimate and detailed rendering of these events, showcasing Fokke's skilled hand and capturing the spirit of Dutch history through his detailed and illustrative style.
