Waarschuwing tegen de heerszucht van Francois-Hercule, hertog van Anjou 1582

This small bronze medal, created in 1582 by an anonymous artist, is a warning against the tyranny of François-Hercule, Duke of Anjou. It depicts a cart, representing the state, being pulled by a bull, symbolizing the strength of the people. The medal features intricate details, such as the inscription around the edge, which reads "Virtus in vicis" ("Strength in victory"). It is a powerful piece of political satire that uses symbolism and visual language to express its message. This work is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing its importance in the history of art.
