Works by Peeter Snayers (also spelled Pieter or Peter Snayers, 1592-1667), in the public domain: views of battles and sieges of the Thirty Years' War and the Eighty Years' War, painted from a bird's-eye view for the archdukes and governors of the Spanish Netherlands, including the series of Ottavio Piccolomini's campaigns in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, cavalry skirmishes, camp scenes, attacks by brigands and landscapes, held by the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the Rijksmuseum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre, the museums of Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels, the National Museum in Warsaw, Dulwich Picture Gallery, the museum in Gotha, the Hermitage and the museum in Valenciennes, each linked to the museum's website, or to the record in the French national catalogue POP for Valenciennes. Only works that the museum attributes to Snayers himself are included, without attributions or works by his circle. Several paintings show the dead and the looting of war. When the museum does not release its photographs, the image comes from Wikimedia Commons (a faithful reproduction of a flat work in the public domain, or a photograph under a free licence with the photographer named). The titles are those of the museums, with their translation.
