EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the surrender of Breda at the end of the siege during the Thirty Years War. The painting, created by Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velasquez in 1635, depicts a detail from this eventful ceremony that took place on June 5th, 1625. In this scene, we witness Justin de Nassau negotiating peace with Ambrogio Spinola Doria, Marquis de Los Balbases. As an act of surrender, Justin de Nassau hands over the keys of the city to Spinola Doria. This symbolic gesture marked a turning point in the conflict and signified Breda's submission to Spanish rule. The painting itself is an exquisite example of Velazquez's mastery as an artist. With meticulous attention to detail and skillful brushwork, he brings this historical moment to life on canvas. The dimensions of this masterpiece measure an impressive 3.07 x 3.67 meters. Currently housed in Madrid's Musee Du Prado, this artwork serves as a reminder of the complex political landscape and military struggles that shaped Europe during the seventeenth century. Through its rich colors and evocative composition, it invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as power dynamics, diplomacy, and war. Thanks to Photo Josse for preserving and sharing this remarkable image from Fine Art Finder; it allows us to appreciate both Velazquez's artistic brilliance and the historical significance behind "Bredas Surrender.
