The Siege of Nyborg, 1659: A Strategic Battle of the Dano-Swedish War, 1746

About the Item

Title: "The Siege of Nyborg, 1659: A Strategic Battle of the Dano-Swedish War" Translated text (From Dutch) on copper engraving: "The city of Nyborg captured by the lord Michiel de Ruyter and the beating of the Swedes by the Danes and the Allies on the 25 Nov. 1659." Nyborg is a city in Denmark. This historical print, originally crafted by Daniel Stoopendaal and published in 1659, captures the pivotal siege of Nyborg in November 1659. The detailed engraving illustrates the critical moment in the war between Denmark and Sweden, with the Dutch forces joining as allies to the Danish side. From a bird's-eye perspective, the viewer's eye is drawn to the intricately detailed walled city of Nyborg, under siege and actively defended by an advancing army. The surrounding harbor teems with majestic ships clashing on the waves, smoke billowing from their cannons in a fierce naval engagement. Each vessel, meticulously rendered, flies the flags of their respective factions, adding to the drama and authenticity of the scene. A decorative ribbon-style cartouche elegantly frames the title, anchoring the historical significance of this momentous confrontation in Scandinavian history. This print has been framed before.

Battle 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...
