EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the pivotal moment of the Siege of Oostende, a significant military campaign during the War of the Netherlands in the 17th century. Led by Spanish military commander Ambrosio de Spínola, the Spanish troops are shown triumphantly raising the white flag over the fortified town of Oostende, located in present-day Belgium. The successful siege marked a turning point in the war, as it allowed Spain to regain control of the strategic coastal town and secure its hold on the Netherlands. The image was produced in Zaragoza, Spain, and is part of the extensive collection held by the Academia General Militar, or the General Military Academy. The meticulously detailed engraving showcases the military prowess and strategic planning of the Spanish forces during this era. The soldiers, dressed in their white uniforms, are depicted with a sense of determination and discipline, reflecting the rigorous training they received at the academy. The War of the Netherlands, which lasted from 1672 to 1678, was a complex conflict between France, the Dutch Republic, and Spain, with various European powers intervening in support of their respective allies. The Siege of Oostende was one of the most notable engagements in this war, and this engraving serves as a testament to the military tactics and achievements of the Spanish forces during this period.
