EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the 80 Years War in 1572. The image showcases Spanish troops, under the leadership of the Duke of Alba, launching an intense attack on the Dutch town of Brielle. Previously captured by Protestant rebels known as the Sea Beggars on April 1st, this strategic location became a significant battleground. The line engraving by Franz Hogenburg, created in 1590, beautifully depicts the chaos and intensity of this historical event. The walled city is shown with its towering structures and bustling streets while Spanish troops storm through its gates. A warship dominates the river nearby, symbolizing Spain's naval power. Intriguingly detailed, this print highlights key elements such as cannons firing from both sides and brave soldiers engaging in combat. It serves as a reminder of the fierce struggle for control between Catholic Spain and Protestant rebels within Holland during this turbulent period. The Granger Collection presents us with an invaluable piece of art that not only portrays historical accuracy but also evokes emotions tied to bravery, sacrifice, and liberation. This artwork transports viewers back to a time when nations fought for religious freedom and independence against formidable opponents.
