This etching by Johann August Corvinus, titled "Sardinië veroverd in naam van Karel III, 1708", depicts the conquest of Sardinia by Charles III of Spain in 1708. The image showcases a detailed scene with numerous ships in the harbor of Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia. The artwork is framed by a complex border filled with allegorical figures and intricate ornamentation, typical of the Baroque style. The etching is part of a larger series documenting the military successes of Charles III, created between 1712 and 1715, and now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
