"The Taking of Luxembourg" is a historical artwork that captures a significant event in European military history, specifically the Siege of Luxembourg in 1684. The original work was created by François de Créquy (circa 1620–1678), a French military commander known for his role in various battles and sieges during the reign of Louis XIV. The scene depicted in the artwork reflects the successful French capture of Luxembourg from Spanish control, which was a pivotal moment in the War of the Reunions.

In 1790, the artwork was engraved by Jean Baptiste Morret (fl. 1790–1820), an artist known for his skill in engraving who was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Morret's engraving would have served to disseminate the image more widely and commemorate the military achievement in a period when printed reproductions were an important means of sharing historical and contemporary events.

The engraving is based on a design by Jacques François Joseph Swebach (1769–1823), a French painter and engraver renowned for his battle scenes and depictions of military subjects. Swebach's involvement in the creation of the image would have ensured that the scene was rendered with the dramatic effect and attention to detail for which he was known.

"The Taking of Luxembourg" serves not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, reflecting the military strategies, costumes, and technologies of the time. It stands as a testament to the French military prowess during the reign of Louis XIV and is an example of the collaborative efforts of artists and engravers in commemorating historical events. The artwork remains an important piece for those studying the period's military history, art history, and the practice of historical engraving.
