Caption: "The Death of Floris III of Holland at Antioch, 1784. This print by artist Simon Fokke depicts a dramatic scene from history, found in the collection of Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Set during the Middle Ages and inspired by neoclassical art, it portrays the tragic demise of Floris III, a valiant knight and ruler of Holland. In this gripping etching, we witness Floris III's fateful encounter with Saracen warriors during the Third Crusade. Surrounded by knights and crusaders on horseback, he bravely faces his adversaries in the ancient city of Antioch. The intense battle unfolds against a backdrop reminiscent of medieval architecture and landscapes. Fokke's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life through intricate graphic arts techniques. The composition evokes both admiration for Floris III's courage as well as sorrow for his impending fate. This artwork serves as a reminder of the valor displayed by knights who embarked on perilous crusades in pursuit of their beliefs. It captures an important moment in Dutch history when Floris III sacrificed himself while fighting alongside fellow crusaders during what is known as 'The King's Crusade. ' Displayed within Rijksmuseum's fine art collection, this print stands as a testament to Fokke's artistic skill and enduring legacy. "
