EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a tapestry depicting the renowned British military leader, John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, at the Battle of Oudenarde in 1708. The battle took place in Flanders during the War of the Spanish Succession and pitted Great Britain, the Dutch Republic, and the Holy Roman Empire against France. Ultimately, this clash resulted in a resounding victory for the allies. Commissioned by Marlborough himself to commemorate his triumphs at Blendheim, Ramilles, Oudenarde, and Malplaquet, this tapestry is one of several Victory tapestries designed by Lambert de Hondt and woven by Judocus de Vos in Brussels.
