Belejringen af Namur (Namur assiegée par le Roy) 1703 - 1717

"Belejringen af Namur (Namur assiegée par le Roy)" is an etching by Johanna Sibylla Küsel depicting the Siege of Namur in 1692. The artwork features a detailed view of the city of Namur, which is surrounded by a river and a dense forest. In the foreground, a group of soldiers on horseback are riding towards the city, while cannons are positioned in the background, ready to fire upon the city. The ornate frame surrounding the central scene incorporates military symbols, including flags, weapons, and artillery. The composition is a testament to Küsel’s skill as a printmaker and her interest in historical events. The artwork is currently on display at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
