Jupiter verschijnt met twee koningen aan de Spanjaarden, 1706 1706

This 1706 etching by an anonymous artist depicts a scene from the War of the Spanish Succession. The print, titled "Jupiter verschijnt met twee koningen aan de Spanjaarden," shows Jupiter, the king of the gods, appearing in the clouds above a battle scene. The artwork can be interpreted as a celebration of the victory of the Spanish king, Philip V, over the allied forces of the Dutch and the Austrians. It's a complex and detailed work that provides a glimpse into the political and religious tensions of the time. The Rijksmuseum's collection houses this significant piece of European history.
