EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Siege of Antwerp in 1585. The image showcases Dutch fire ships being sent against a pontoon bridge across the majestic Scheldt River, which was constructed by Spanish forces during their siege on Antwerp. As the capital of the Dutch revolt against Spain, Antwerp held immense significance during this period. The woodcut used to create this print adds an authentic touch and transports us back to late 16th century Flanders. The intricate details depict the intensity of the battle as flames engulf the river, symbolizing both destruction and liberation. The composition beautifully highlights the maritime prowess of the Dutch as they strategically deploy their fire ships against enemy fortifications. This display of naval power demonstrates their determination to defend their land and resist Spanish occupation. By showcasing this historical event, The Granger Collection invites us to reflect upon a crucial chapter in European history - one that shaped not only Belgium but also had far-reaching consequences for international relations at that time. Whether you are a history enthusiast or simply appreciate art that tells stories from our past, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you back to an era filled with conflict, bravery, and resilience.
