"Nachtelijk tocht van Spaanse soldaten door het water naar Duiveland, 1575" (1643-1645) by Frans van den Wijngaerde is a detailed etching that depicts the nighttime journey of Spanish soldiers across the water to Duiveland in 1575. The image shows a vast, bird's-eye view of the landscape, capturing the soldiers in boats and the shoreline in the foreground with a small group of figures at the bottom left. The depiction of the night sky with the stylized smoke and flames adds an eerie atmosphere to the scene. This artwork is currently held at the Rijksmuseum.
