EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "War of the Juelich Succession, 1610" takes us back to a tumultuous period in history. The image showcases a detailed aerial view of a city's fortifications and fortress, surrounded by lush landscapes and flowing rivers. It is evident that this print aims to depict the intensity and complexity of the conflict. The scene portrays soldiers from various armies engaged in battle on a vast battlefield. Troops can be seen attacking and retreating, illustrating the fierce struggle for power during this war. The absence of a legitimate heir to the throne led to multiple claimants vying for control over Juelich Cleves Berg. The engraving also highlights key events such as the siege of Julich by Dutch forces after Duke John William's death in 1609. Brandenburg and Palatine troops occupied the fortress from July 28th until September 2nd, 1610, further escalating tensions before becoming a precursor to the devastating Thirty Years War. Through its intricate details and precise cartography, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to delve into historical events that shaped Europe during the seventeenth century. It serves as both an informative tool for understanding military strategies employed at that time and as a visual reminder of how political ambitions often lead nations down paths paved with bloodshed. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection but can be appreciated by all thanks to Bridgeman Art's dedication in preserving these valuable historical prints.
