No. 694This roundel is one from a set of six depicting events surrounding the `Spanish Fury` of 1576.For a full set of the series in bronze see Victoria & Albert Museum, A33-38/1975.The `Tericos`, mercenaries in the service of the Spanish authorities, had not been paid, following Spain`s declaration of bankruptcy. Their consequent rampage through Antwerp in November saw three days of horror: the massacre of over 2500 citizens as the Tericos looted and burnt countless buildings, including the magnificent Town Hall.In August the following year a Netherlandish coalition overthrew the Spanish troops in the Citadel and it was subsequently demolished by the citizenry, as shown in the present roundel.Five of the subjects, including this scene, are derived from engravings by the Wierix brothers after drawings by Martin de Vos (1532-1603).Four of the drawings can be found in the Ashmolean at Oxford and one at the Metropolitan in New York.The fine detail and modelling of the figures on this series of circular plaquettes has led to the attribution to Jacques Jonghelinck, the medalist and sculptor who was Antwerp`s Master of the Mint at this period.For other lead roundels from this series see Morton & Eden, London, 14 June 2007, lot 589, Matthew Barton Ltd, London, 25 May 2012, lot 101, and Sotheby`s, New York, Cyril Humphris Collection, 11th January 1995, lot 324.See, C.
