Abstract
The present work consists of a brief analysis of two geographical charts designed between the 16th and 17th centuries in which the territories of the Netherlands were mapped. Such maps, better known as Leo Belgicus, will be understood not only as representations of cartography, but as documents that narrate and manifest through their iconographic content the particularities of the context in which they were created, as well as their transitions.
