97 Gerrit Baudartius (1565–1640) – Historical Engraving – "Sous Philippe Second, Gouvernant Don Loys de Requesens" (1616)
This 17th-century Baroque engraving originates from Les guerres de Nassau ("The Wars of Nassau"), a historical work by Gerrit Baudartius, published in Amsterdam by M. Colin de Thovoyon in 1616. The illustration depicts a dramatic naval battle near Bergen op Zoom, likely during the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648), when Spanish forces under Don Luis de Requesens clashed with the Dutch navy. The engraving is rich in details, featuring warships engaged in combat, cannon fire, billowing smoke, and the chaotic intensity of maritime warfare.
Gerrit Baudartius was a Dutch historian and engraver known for documenting military campaigns, particularly those of the House of Nassau. His work is characterized by intricate compositions that vividly portray the strategic and violent nature of 16th- and 17th-century warfare.
