"Aanleg van schans Papenmuts op Kompenwerdt" (1620-1622) by Frans Hogenberg is an intricate engraving depicting a fortified island. The detailed illustration shows a bird's-eye view of the Papenmuts fort, with its surrounding landscape, waterways, and ships. Hogenberg, a prominent 16th-century cartographer, was known for his precise and evocative depictions of military architecture and landscapes. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides valuable insight into the military engineering and urban planning of early 17th-century Europe.
