"The Celebration of the Liberation of a Cathedral by the Dutch Militia" is a historical painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Jacob Duck, who was active during the 17th century. Duck is known for his genre scenes and depictions of soldiers and their daily life, often imbued with a sense of narrative and detail. This particular work, while not as well-documented as some of his other paintings, is believed to capture a moment of triumph and revelry as Dutch militiamen celebrate the recapture of a cathedral from occupying forces, likely during the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648), a period of protracted conflict that led to the independence of the Dutch Republic from the Spanish Empire.

The painting is characterized by Duck's attention to the interplay of light and shadow, as well as the dynamic composition that conveys the movement and emotion of the scene. The artist's use of color and his ability to render textures of fabric and armor demonstrate his skill in creating a vivid tableau that resonates with the viewer. The work likely served not only as a historical record of the event but also as a piece of propaganda, celebrating the Dutch struggle for independence and the valor of its citizen soldiers.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is unknown, it is stylistically consistent with Duck's oeuvre from the 1630s to the 1650s. The painting's provenance and current location are not well-documented in available sources, and it may reside in a private collection or an as-yet-unidentified museum. Due to the scarcity of specific information about "The Celebration of the Liberation of a Cathedral by the Dutch Militia," further research would be necessary to provide a more complete understanding of the painting's historical and artistic context.
