Plate 4: The victory of Goleta, near Tunis, from the "Triumphs of Charles V" 1614

"Plate 4: The Victory of Goleta, near Tunis, from the 'Triumphs of Charles V'" is an etching created by Jacques de Gheyn III in 1614. Depicting the Battle of Goleta, a key victory for Charles V in 1535, the print showcases detailed imagery of the battle with soldiers, cannons, and ships. The scene is characterized by a sense of chaos and movement, emphasizing the power and grandeur of the victory. Gheyn III’s work is significant for its realistic depiction of military life and its contribution to the artistic tradition of celebrating imperial triumphs. This etching, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, stands as a testament to the artistic skills and historical significance of this Dutch master of etching.
