About the artwork

Jan Luyken, 1730

The ruse with the Breda Turf Ship is one of the most famous incidents of the Eighty Years' War. It led to the capture of Breda on 4 March 1590 and was not only a military but also a moral victory for the troops of Maurice of Nassau, later to become Prince of Orange.

In 1568, the Netherlands had rebelled against the reign of terror of the Duke of Alva. This led in 1581 to the formal declaration of independence (see the Plakkaat van Verlatinghe) and in 1587 to the foundation of the Republic of the Seven United Provinces.

In response, the Spaniards began an offensive. Breda was taken almost immediately (see Furie van Houtepen). After the murder of William of Orange in 1584, it seemed only a matter of time before the rebellion would be suppressed. The 18-year-old Maurice took over command of the troops, but the Count's army was militarily too weak to recapture the city of Breda. However, the Spaniards had suffered such a setback after the destruction of the Spanish Armada that new opportunities opened up for Maurice.

Jan Luyken or Johannes Luiken (Amsterdam, Holland, Netherlands, 16 April 1649 - Amsterdam, 5 April 1712) was a poet, painter and etcher of the 17th century.
