This print, created by the talented artist HK Bourne in 1860, immortalizes a significant moment in history - the tragic demise of Sir Philip Sidney. A prominent figure during the Elizabethan Age, Sidney was renowned for his prowess as a poet, courtier, and soldier. The image captures the essence of this remarkable man who left an indelible mark on England's literary and political landscape. In his role as Governor of Flushing in the Netherlands, he played a vital part in defending Dutch independence against Spanish forces. The Battle of Zutphen became both his triumph and tragedy. Mortally wounded in the thigh while fighting alongside Dutch and English troops against the Spanish on September 22nd, 1586, Sidney valiantly fought until his last breath. He succumbed to his injuries at Arnhem twenty-six days later. Bourne's masterful engraving portrays not only Sidney's physical wounds but also encapsulates the spirit of courage that defined him.
