The Capture of the Den Briel is a significant historical painting by the Dutch artist Antonie Waldorp, renowned for his detailed and evocative depictions of maritime and historical scenes. Created in the 19th century, this painting captures a pivotal moment in Dutch history—the capture of the town of Brielle (Den Briel) by the Sea Beggars on April 1, 1572, during the Eighty Years' War. This event marked a turning point in the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule, symbolizing the burgeoning fight for independence and the rise of the Dutch Republic.

Waldorp's work is celebrated for its meticulous attention to historical accuracy and its ability to convey the dramatic intensity of the event. The painting vividly portrays the Sea Beggars, a group of rebel privateers, as they storm the gates of Brielle, taking the Spanish garrison by surprise. The composition of the painting is dynamic, with a strong sense of movement and urgency, reflecting the chaos and fervor of the moment. Waldorp's use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures and the unfolding action.

Antonie Waldorp, born in The Hague in 1803, was a prominent figure in the Dutch Romantic movement. He initially trained as a stage designer, which influenced his later works, imbuing them with a theatrical quality. Waldorp's transition to painting saw him gain acclaim for his landscapes, seascapes, and historical scenes, with "The Capture of the Den Briel" standing out as one of his most notable achievements. The painting not only serves as a historical document but also as a testament to Waldorp's skill in capturing the spirit of his nation's past.
