EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful woodcut print from the 17th century depicts a disturbing scene of soldiers wielding swords against innocent children. The figures of these soldiers, clad in traditional armor and armed with pikestaffs, loom menacingly over their young victims. In the background, a building is engulfed in flames, adding to the chaos and sense of danger. The image evokes a sense of punishment and violence as we witness this cruel act perpetrated by those who are meant to protect. It serves as a stark reminder of the horrors that can occur during times of conflict and war. The details captured in this woodcut are remarkable, showcasing the intricate mesh size on the soldiers' armor and plate armor. The artist's attention to detail extends even to armoured clothing worn by female soldiers depicted here. As we reflect upon this artwork, it raises questions about the role of children in warfare and how they have often been caught up in its devastating consequences throughout history. It also reminds us of our responsibility to protect and nurture future generations rather than subjecting them to harm. This thought-provoking print is part of Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection held privately but made accessible through Fine Art Finder's partnership with Bridgeman Images.
