This 1578 etching by an anonymous artist is titled "De dood van Don Juan en de vernedering van Alva" which translates to "The Death of Don Juan and the Humiliation of Alva". The print depicts a scene of a battle where Don Juan is seen being killed and the Spanish General, Duke of Alva, being humiliated as part of the war in the Netherlands. The print includes text in Dutch and Spanish which makes it a good source for studying the history and politics of 16th-century Europe.
