This print captures the formidable presence of Johann Tserclaes, Count Tilly, a renowned Flemish soldier from the 16th and 17th centuries. Known for his military prowess, Tilly was appointed by Maximilian I of Bavaria to reorganize the Bavarian army in 1610. He played a significant role in the Catholic army during the early stages of the devastating Thirty Years War.
