Comparison between Orange and Alva, with the Spanish Fury in the background, ca. 1577

Allegorical comparison between Orange and Alba, with the Spanish Fury in the background. On the left, William of Orange accompanied by the personifications Honor, Wealth, and Wise Counsel. On the right, Alba between Falsehood and Envy. He leads the naked and bound Dutch Maiden (Belgica) by the arm. At his feet, the People (Plebs) as a poor beggar. In the background, the Spanish Fury in Antwerp. At the bottom, two verses of eight lines each in Dutch and French, with two small scenes from the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt on either side: the celebration of Passover (left) and the crossing of the Red Sea. In the sky, Fame with trumpets.
