"The Siege of La Rochelle in 1628" is a historical painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Adrian van der Cabel, also known as Aert van der Cabel or Ary van der Touw. Born in Rijswijk in 1631, van der Cabel was known for his skill in painting landscapes, seascapes, and scenes of battles and sieges, which were popular subjects during the 17th century. His work on "The Siege of La Rochelle" depicts the pivotal event during the Huguenot rebellions in France when the French royal forces of King Louis XIII, under the command of Cardinal Richelieu, laid siege to the Protestant stronghold of La Rochelle.

The painting captures the intensity and drama of the siege, which lasted from September 1627 to October 1628 and ended in a decisive victory for the Crown, effectively marking the end of Huguenot political power in France. Van der Cabel's attention to detail in the portrayal of the military engagement, the ships at sea, and the fortifications of the city reflects his mastery of the genre. The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical representation of a major event in the religious wars that plagued Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, it is believed to have been produced in the latter part of the 17th century, when van der Cabel was active as an artist. The painting would have been intended for an audience with an interest in historical depictions of military events. As with many of van der Cabel's works, "The Siege of La Rochelle in 1628" likely reflects the influence of his contemporaries and the demand for art that captured the grandeur and turmoil of European history.

Today, the painting stands as a testament to van der Cabel's artistic legacy and is of interest to both art historians and those studying the period of the Huguenot rebellions in France. Its whereabouts or existence in a public or private collection, however, are not well-documented in available sources, and further research may be necessary to establish a more comprehensive understanding of this particular work's provenance and historical significance.
