Personificatie van de overwinning 1565

"Personificatie van de overwinning" is a 1565 woodcut by Jost Amman, a Swiss artist known for his detailed and intricate illustrations. The artwork depicts the personification of Victory, a female figure holding a flag, surrounded by cherubs and a scene of battle. Amman's work is often associated with the German Renaissance style, characterized by its emphasis on precision, detail, and use of symbolism. The scene in the woodcut likely alludes to the triumphs of war and the importance of military victory in 16th-century Europe. This small but detailed artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, reflects the artistic sensibilities of its time and offers a glimpse into the cultural and historical context of the Renaissance era.
