EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Civic Guard of Ghent, also known as the Brotherhood of St. Sebastian, during the Middle Ages. Taken from a painting on the wall of the Chapel of St. John and St. Paul near the Gate of Bruges in Ghent, Belgium, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of medieval Europe. The men depicted in this artwork are adorned in intricate armor and costumes that reflect their status as guards and soldiers. With spears held firmly in hand and shields at their side, they exude strength and determination. The Flemish influence is evident in their attire, highlighting both their regional identity and European heritage. The attention to detail captured by this drawing emphasizes not only historical accuracy but also serves as a testament to artistic skill during that time period. As we delve into this 19th-century engraving turned print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to an era where chivalry reigned supreme and honor was paramount. It allows us to appreciate not only the bravery displayed by these individuals but also provides insight into societal norms, customs, and dress during both the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods. This print is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates centuries worth of history within its frame—a true testament to human resilience and our unending quest for knowledge about our past.
