Talking about the #PeaceOfWestphalia most people think of the treaties signed by French, Swedish & Imperial envoys on 24 October 1648. However, a third treaty between Spain & the Seven United Provinces of the Netherlands was agreed upon on 30 January 1648 & ratified #otd 15 May 1648.
The most popular paintings depicting #Westphalia do actually not show the October-event. Gerard ter Boch painted the act of ratification of the Spanish-Dutch treaty on 15 May 1648. @histodons@historikerinnen
