12546 Mattheus Smallegange (1624–1704) – Views of Sint-Maartensdijk and Scherpenisse – Netherlands – Engraving (1696)
"Die Stad St. Maertensdyk. Scherpenisse" This work provides a dual topographical study of two Zeeland settlements, presenting panoramic profile views of the town of Sint-Maartensdijk and the nearby village of Scherpenisse. The engraving was published in Middelburg as part of the Nieuwe Cronyk van Zeeland. This plate is distinguished by its precise rendering of 17th-century maritime activity along the waterways, the prominent church spires, and the traditional Dutch architecture of the Tholen island region.
Mattheus Smallegange was a Dutch historian, genealogist, and lawyer who dedicated decades to compiling a comprehensive record of the province of Zeeland. His monumental historical survey, published at the end of the 17th century, is considered a primary source for the region's history, documenting noble families, manor houses, and urban geography. He worked closely with engravers to ensure that the visual documentation of the Zeeland landscape was accurate and detailed. His work remains a vital reference for the topographical and social history of the Dutch Republic.
