Spotprent op het mislukte Franse beleg van Turijn, 1706 1706

This 1706 satirical print, created by an anonymous artist, depicts the failed French siege of Turin during the War of the Spanish Succession. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, utilizes a visual metaphor of a bullfight to represent the French forces' defeat, with the bull symbolizing the French army, and the victorious figure representing the Duke of Savoy. This print is a prime example of satirical art, capturing the political tensions and events of its time.
