Beleg van Bergen op Zoom, 1622 1622

Claes Jansz. Visscher’s 1622 “Beleg van Bergen op Zoom, 1622” is an engraved map depicting the Siege of Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands during the Eighty Years’ War. The map details the geography of the area, including the location of the city, the surrounding countryside, and the defensive fortifications. The Dutch artist Claes Jansz. Visscher was a renowned mapmaker and publisher, and this map, now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, is an excellent example of his work.
