EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Courtrai Chest" a remarkable piece of art from the 14th century Flemish School. Depicting two scenes from the historic Battle of the Golden Spurs fought in Courtrai in 1302, this wood carving is an extraordinary representation of medieval warfare. In intricate detail, the top scene portrays the arrival of Guy of Namur and William of Jullich at Bruges. Guy, a knight with a lion on his shield adorned with a scalloped bar, stands alongside William who bears a lion on his shield with a lily on its shoulder. The lower scene captures the line-up of town militias, where an absolution is being given by a priest on the left. Every element in this relief panel tells stories of bravery and valor. From soldiers wielding falchions and bows to infantry armed with pikes and cassones, each figure contributes to the intensity and authenticity portrayed within this masterpiece. The presence of noblemen further emphasizes their involvement in defeating French forces during this significant battle. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness history unfolding before our eyes. The craftsmanship showcased here is truly awe-inspiring as it immortalizes moments that shaped nations.
