F. HOGENBERG (*1535), Siege of St Quentin, around 1610, Etching Franz Hogenberg (1535 Mechen - 1590 Cologne): Siege plan of St Quentin on 27 February 1557, c. 1610, Etching Technique: Etching on Paper Inscription: Inscribed in the printing plate: "S. QVINTIN belagert S. Quintin nach gehaltener schlacht, Belagert und mit herzes muth. Die hugenott das schlisse wurth, Den adel hat einbisirt. Die furnemblichsten herugen sich hautt. So zenthlich wuthen auß gefalten. Wann die Burgundische rechter S. Quintin helffen awfegethern, Wirt zetter zaichen bestendigen hartt, Ein sturm gern weren worden. Darunder vil jren getrachten wurde. Henlich darzu durch ihrer rn kümet, Mit gwalt und glück die Stadt gewunnen, Ao. 1557. 27. July". Date: c. 1610 Description: Before us is a skilfully crafted historical engraving depicting a cartographic representation of the besieged town of S. Quentin. The scene is richly detailed, with the topographical features of the surrounding landscape, military camps and defences carefully depicted. In the foreground, tiny figures animate the scenario, and the depiction of the city's architecture demonstrates the artist's craftsmanship and spatial understanding. The artwork serves as documentation of a historical event with a military background.
