Brinno uitgeroepen tot leider van de Kanninefaten, 69-70 1700 - 1702

"Brinno uitgeroepen tot leider van de Kanninefaten" is an etching by Dutch artist Pieter van den Berge. It depicts the elevation of the Germanic leader Brinno, possibly the leader of the Canninefates, a Germanic tribe, during the Roman era. The central image shows Brinno being elevated on a shield, with his followers cheering. At the top of the etching, a banner features Roman emperors, with Brinno’s portrait prominently displayed. The detailed etching style of the artwork is characteristic of van den Berge's style, which was influenced by 17th-century Dutch masters. This etching offers insight into the visual culture and artistic practices of the Dutch Golden Age, and it remains a significant artifact of the historical and artistic interest in Germanic history and mythology during this period.
