Jan Luyken, Defeat of the Spanish Armanda in 1588
Located in Norwich, GB
"Vertooninge van de ontsachlyke Spaansche Krygs vloot, in den Jaare 1588." Issued in: Bor, Pieter: "Nederlandsche Oorlogen", Amsterdam (ca 1680) Measures: Leaf: ca. 28,5 x 36 cm View: ca. 26 x 34 cm Fine hand color. On fine watermarked laid paper. Copper engraving of the downfall of the Spanish Armada of the ‘Onoverwinnelijke Vloot’, between 31 July and 12 August 1588. Naval battle between the Spanish and combined English and Dutch fleets in the canal. In the foreground, there is a large Spanish frigate being shot at by a small Dutch ship with the banner of the city of Leiden; on the left, there is a galley.  In particular, the engraving details shows the battle of Gravelines as the English sought to disrupt the Spanish fleet as it lay in wait for the army to board her ships. The fireships can be seen in the middle-right of the picture. It gives a feel for the compactness of the fleet and the disruption that the English hoped to cause in breaking it up.
