The Siege of Buda, 1686
by GEFFELS, Frans, Oil on canvas
Prints and pamphlets showing the repulsion of Turks and the sieges of cities and castles in the late seventeenth century were distributed across Europe. A print by Justus van den Nypoort was the source of the painting by Geffels who received the commission from Duke Ferdinando Carlo Gonzaga in Mantua.
