EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the intensity and chaos of the Belgian Revolution, which took place in September 1830 and resulted in the establishment of an independent Kingdom of Belgium. The scene unfolds in Brussels, specifically in the Place de Waterloo near the Porte de Namur. Dutch troops, determined to retake the city from the rebellious Belgians, are depicted in the foreground, engaged in fierce street fighting. The faces of the soldiers are etched with determination and resolve, while their weapons are poised for action. In the background, the smoke-filled streets are filled with the chaos of battle, with buildings on fire and civilians fleeing for their lives. Despite their best efforts, the Dutch troops were unable to retake the city, marking a significant turning point in the Belgian Revolution. This historical image offers a glimpse into the tumultuous events that shaped the political landscape of Europe in the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of those who fought for their independence.
