Belgische revolutie 1825 - 1838

"Belgische revolutie" (Belgian Revolution) is a satirical broadside created by Alexander Cranendoncq between 1825 and 1838. This four-panel print depicts scenes from the Belgian Revolution, using humor and exaggeration to criticize the political climate. The panels depict the arrival of the French ship, the raising of the Belgian flag, the attack on Brussels, and the arrival of Prince Leopold. These scenes are likely a commentary on the political events of the time, using humor and satire to express social and political commentary. The print was likely meant to be both informative and entertaining for the general public. The artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
