Inname van Ulm, 1704 1712 - 1715

This elaborate engraving, *Inname van Ulm* (1712-1715) by Johann August Corvinus, depicts the capture of the city of Ulm by Bavarian forces during the War of the Spanish Succession. The main scene is framed within a decorative border, which includes a map of the city, a figure of Fame blowing a trumpet, and other symbolic elements. The meticulous detail and masterful use of light and shadow in this Baroque-style print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, make it a stunning testament to the artistic achievements of early 18th-century Germany.
