Crispijn de Passe the Elder Portrait of Alessandro Farnese, Duke of Parma ca. 1585-88 engraving Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam |
In 1585 the Duke of Parma reconquered Antwerp for its nominal ruler, the King of Spain, restoring Roman Catholicism as the only legitimate faith. Terms of the city's surrender included the demand that all Protestants depart within four years. Crispijn de Passe the Elder was included among them, and exiled himself in 1589 to Protestant Cologne. This did not, however, prevent him, before his departure, from producing the flattering portrait of the Duke, directly above.
