This 1614 print, *Allegorie op Maurits en Spinola in de Gulik-Kleefse kwestie*, is a visual allegory by an anonymous artist, depicting the complex political situation during the Gulik-Kleve succession dispute. The print features Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange, depicted as a lion fighting a dragon representing Ambrogio Spinola, the Spanish general who is fighting for the Archdukes of Austria. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides a detailed look into a critical period of Dutch history.
