The Order of Battle of the Turkish Army

Valentinis, Sebastiano de'1558

Rijksmuseum

Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands

In a time when there were no newspapers, prints were important disseminators of news. Depictions of special events, for instance a battle, were spread throughout Europe in print form. This imposing etching shows the Turkish army trekking through a ravaged landscape in a special order of battle. As a Catholic, Zobel was naturally interested in the ongoing conflict between the Christian world and the Ottoman Empire.
