Ruïnes bij de Grasmarkt te Brussel, 1695, 1695 Pieter Schenk (I)
This artwork captures the haunting aftermath of the bombardment by the French on Brussels' Grasmarkt, which took place from August 13-15 in 1695. The ruins, once vibrant structures, stand as a testament to the city's resilience. This print is part of a series of twelve representations copied from the works of Coppens and Orley. The piece is further enhanced with Latin and Dutch captions inscribed beneath the illustration.
