Wapens van de Zeventien Provinciën before 1612

"Wapens van de Zeventien Provinciën," an engraving by Abraham de Bruyn, depicts the coats of arms of the seventeen provinces of the Netherlands. Created before 1612, the artwork is a visual representation of Dutch national identity and features intricate details like laurel wreaths surrounding each coat of arms. This piece reflects the growing sense of unity in the Dutch Republic during the late 16th century and serves as a reminder of the historical significance of the region. The engraving is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and stands as a testament to de Bruyn's skill and his contribution to Dutch art history.
