Inspectie van de troepen door Willem III bij Arnhem, 1691 1691

Jan van Huchtenburg’s etching, *Inspectie van de troepen door Willem III bij Arnhem, 1691* (1691), depicts King William III of England inspecting his troops near Arnhem. The scene is full of military detail, featuring soldiers on horseback, infantry, and artillery. The artist uses a combination of light and shadow to create depth and realism, emphasizing the scale of the military operation. The etching is a testament to Huchtenburg’s skill in capturing the drama and excitement of battle scenes, a popular genre of art during the 17th and 18th centuries. The work, now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the military history of the Netherlands during the reign of William III.
