Burgemeester Lancelot van Ursel geeft schepen Cornelis van Spangen het bevel over de burgerwacht after 1863

"Burgemeester Lancelot van Ursel geeft schepen Cornelis van Spangen het bevel over de burgerwacht" (after 1863) is a black and white etching by Jean Baptiste Pierre Michiels (1821-1890). The artwork, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a scene from a historical event in Antwerp, Belgium, where a high-ranking official gives command to a military figure, possibly a captain of the civilian militia. The etching shows the two main characters in the foreground, surrounded by a large group of soldiers. This piece is a striking example of Michiels' ability to capture both the detail and the emotion of a historic moment, providing viewers with a glimpse into the past.
