EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 8: The March to the Battlefield, 1635-60 by Jacques Courtois captures a pivotal moment in history with its intricate etching. This print transports us back to the 17th century, immersing us in the chaos and anticipation of war. In this scene, we witness an army on horseback advancing towards the battlefield. Soldiers clad in armor ride alongside their trusty steeds, ready to charge into battle. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully depicts each individual soldier and horse with precision. The composition of this artwork draws our eyes from the foreground where men are positioned strategically for warfare, all the way into the distant background where more soldiers can be seen marching forward. It conveys a sense of movement and urgency as they make their way through a country landscape towards an unknown fate. Courtois' masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to this powerful image. The contrast between light and dark creates a dramatic atmosphere that highlights both the determination on these men's faces and their connection with nature. As we gaze upon Plate 8: The March to the Battlefield, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely during this tumultuous period in history. This print serves as a testament to human resilience amidst times of conflict while also showcasing Courtois' artistic prowess.
