A 1556 Antwerp print series published at Hieronymus Cock's shop by the Netherlands engravers after Martin van Heemskerck and others, celebrating the victories of Emperor Charles V for a court and patron audience. The pictures are dense black-and-white engravings crowded with armoured riders, banners, ships and battle scenes, offering a designer strong examples of Renaissance triumphal composition, layered crowds and dramatic sweeping movement.
