EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of the unsuccessful attempt on Antwerp by Prince Maurits on 17 May 1605. The image showcases a fierce battle taking place on the Blokkersdijk between Spanish troops and the water Beggars, who are desperately trying to get ashore. On the left side of the frame, we can see the fleet of geuzen sailing along the Scheldt River, with the distant profile of Antwerp looming in the background. The composition is filled with tension and action as navy ships engage in combat, creating an atmosphere charged with adrenaline. This historical moment comes alive through intricate details depicted using wood material and oil paint techniques. Prince Maurits, accompanied by Ernst Casimir count of Nassau-Dietz, led this failed attack that aimed to seize control over Antwerp. However, their efforts were met with resistance from both Spanish forces and brave water Beggars fighting for their cause. This print serves as a powerful reminder of a significant event in Southern Netherlands' history during this period. It offers viewers a glimpse into an intense military confrontation that shaped political dynamics at that time.
