Subject  Romans Marc Antony Actium defeat people
Credit  Dr. Gustav and Marie Schilder Collection
Description
A book illustration depicting the closing of the Temple of Janus after Marc Antony's defeat at Actium; Fortune,the woman in the boat, has turned her back on him and is sailing away. This somewhat obscure etching was used as an illustration to E. Herckmann's 'Der Zee-Vaert Lof' ( The Praise of Seafaring) Amsterdam, 1634. The image seems to relate to the opening of the peace talks between the Dutch & the Spanish after the Battle of Slaak 13 September 1631. Fortune has turned her back against the Spanish, who are forced to admit that they could go on no longer. Dame Fortune however smiles upon the Dutch & with the Temple of Janus finally closed she will contribute to the welfare of the country by a new period of prosterity in navigation.
