Battle of Turnhout 1597 – Dutch and English Victory over Spanish
This original antique engraving depicts the Battle of Turnhout, fought on January 24, 1597, during the Eighty Years’ War. The engraving shows a dynamic panoramic view of the battlefield with detailed formations and dramatic action.
On the left side is the advancing Dutch army under the command of Prince Maurits of Nassau, known for his tactical innovations that modernised European warfare. The central area shows the dense formations of infantry squares with pikes and muskets, while cavalry units charge between them. On the right are the English cavalry divisions led by Robert Sidney, Francis Vere, and Perker, depicted in rapid pursuit of the fleeing Spanish forces.
Above the battle scene are scattered Spanish troops retreating in disorder, marking the decisive victory of the Dutch and English allied forces. In the distant top right corner, the church tower of Herenthals is visible, situating the viewer geographically within the southern Netherlands.
The Battle of Turnhout was significant for showcasing the effectiveness of Maurits’ disciplined infantry against Spanish tercios. It demonstrated the superiority of volley fire and flexible formations over traditional Spanish pike tactics, cementing Maurits’ reputation as a military innovator.
This engraving was likely created in the late 16th or early 17th century to commemorate the battle’s impact on Dutch independence and morale. Such prints served both as historical records and patriotic propaganda, illustrating victories that contributed to the eventual formation of the Dutch Republic.
The maker was likely Bartholomeus Willemsz Dolendo, a Dutch engraver, draftsman, and goldsmith active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
Name: Bartholomeus Willemsz Dolendo
Birth: circa 1570, Leiden, Netherlands
Death: 1626, Leiden, Netherlands
Dolendo was a student of Hendrick Goltzius, one of the leading engravers and printmakers of the Dutch Golden Age. He became known for his finely detailed engravings, often reproducing works by other artists, especially mythological, biblical, and historical subjects. His style is characterised by precise line work and delicate cross-hatching, reflecting the Mannerist influence of his teacher.
In addition to engraving, Dolendo worked as a goldsmith, a common combination in this period due to the shared technical skills in metalwork. He produced numerous prints both from his own designs and after designs by contemporaries such as Goltzius and Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem.
His works remain significant for collectors of Dutch engravings and Mannerist art due to their technical quality and their role in disseminating Netherlandish artistic styles across Europe.

View AllBattle of Kauwenstein Dijk, 1585: Siege of Antwerp Engraving with Latin Legend
Located in Langweer, NL
The 'Battle for the Kauwenstein Dijk', engraved and titled Pugna in Aggerere Covenstio Anno 1585, depicts a significant battle during the Siege of Antwerp on 26 May 1585.
The engraving illustrates the fierce combat around the Kauwenstein embankment, where the Spanish forces under the Duke of Parma attempted to cut off supplies to the city of Antwerp, leading to intense fighting.
The scene vividly portrays soldiers engaged in close combat, naval forces in the background, and smoke rising from the battlefield as cannon fire and musket shots fill the air. The embankment, partially breached, is a focal point, showing the chaotic nature of the battle as forces from both sides converge.
At the top, the title is inscribed in Latin, and a detailed legend (A-O) at the bottom provides further explanations about various parts of the battle, referencing key locations, troops, and actions. The detailed precision of the engraving reflects the high level of craftsmanship typical of 16th-century military engravings...

Daniel Marot's The Siege of the Dutch Fortified City of Ypres by Louis XIV
By Daniel Marot
Located in Alamo, CA
"Ypres, Grand Ville Riche & Marchande" is an engraving and etching by Daniel Marot (le Vieux) (1661–1752). It depicts a view of the siege of the city of Ypres and its citadel on the left in the Spanish Netherlands by Louis XIV's troops. This battle took place between March 18 and March 25, 1678, as part of the Franco-Dutch War. Marot illustrated in great detail (best appreciated with magnification) the French attack on the strong pentagonal citadel on the extreme left, which had been built recently in anticipation of a French attack. The trenches built by the French approaching the town are seen on the right. King Louis XIV can be seen in the foreground surveying the battle mounted on his white horse, surrounded by his officers and troops.
The print is presented in an attractive ornate black wood frame with a cream-colored double mat with a black inner trim. It is glazed with plexiglas. The frame measures 25.38" x 22.63" x .88". The engraving, frame, mat and glazing are in excellent condition.
Artist: Daniel Marot (1661–1752) was also called "Le Vieux". He was the son of the famous architect, Jean Marot. Marot had diverse interests and talents. In addition to his art, he designed garden projects, architectural ornaments, furniture, and even upholstery. Marot as a Huguenot protestant was forced to leave France in 1685 following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. He emigrated to Holland, where he worked for William of Orange (an arch enemy of his former employer Louis XIV). Marot was largely responsible for the interiors of Williams palace at the Loo. In 1694 he went Britain as William had married Queen Mary and he had become King William III of England. He later returned to Holland in about 1698 and died in the Hague in 1752. He left a lasting legacy on the decorative arts in the Netherlands, where his grand version of the Louis XIV style remained popular into the 1730s.
Historical Background: In October 1677, Mary Stuart, niece and possible successor of Charles II of England, married Louis XIV's arch enemy William III of Orange...
