About the Item
This engraving illustrates the capture of Limburg by Spanish forces under the command of Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma, in 1578 during the Eighty Years' War. The scene vividly depicts the siege, with intense fighting and explosions at the forefront. Soldiers are shown engaged in battle, with smoke billowing from cannon fire. The strategic positioning of troops and the defensive walls of the city are prominent in the background.
The city of Limburg is depicted in detail, with its fortifications and surrounding countryside under attack.
