Sluiting van het drievoudige verbond tussen Engeland, Frankrijk en de Republiek 1596

This 16th-century bronze medal commemorates the "Triple Alliance" between England, France, and the Dutch Republic. Created by an anonymous artist, the medal depicts the three nations represented by figures standing around an altar with the inscription "Fœderis Æternitas," signifying the eternal bond of the treaty. This small yet significant piece of art serves as a historical reminder of the important alliances formed during the era of the Dutch Golden Age. The medal, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the political landscape of Europe in the late 16th century.
