"Beleg van Namen, 1695" is a 17th-century map and illustration depicting the city of Namur, Belgium, and its surrounding fortifications. This anonymous print provides a detailed overview of the city’s defenses, featuring a bird's-eye view of the city walls and the surrounding landscape. The map, which is likely intended to be a military reconnaissance tool, offers a fascinating glimpse into the strategic importance of the city during the Siege of Namur in 1695. This work is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
