De optocht der Cimbren over de Alpen 1782 - 1784

This detailed etching by Engelbertus Matthias Engelberts depicts a scene from ancient Roman history, "The March of the Cimbri over the Alps." Created in 1782-1784, the artwork portrays a large group of Cimbrian warriors on horseback, accompanied by wagons and other travelers, moving through a rugged mountain pass. The artist's meticulous rendering of the figures and landscape creates a sense of realism and historical accuracy, offering viewers a glimpse into the past. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Dutch historical illustration.
