EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts the pivotal moment of the Battle of Morat, which took place on June 22, 1476, in what is now Switzerland. The scene shows the decisive defeat of the Burgundian army, led by Charles the Bold, also known as Charles the Rash or Charles le Temeraire, at the hands of the Swiss militia under the command of Hans Waldmann. According to Swiss chroniclers, the Burgundians suffered a devastating loss, with an estimated 8000 men killed or captured, while the Swiss sustained only around 500 casualties. The Battle of Morat was a significant turning point in the Swiss War of the Burgundian Succession, a conflict between the Swiss cantons and the House of Burgundy for control of the region. Charles the Bold, the last Valois Duke of Burgundy, had invaded Switzerland with a large army, intending to assert his dominance over the cantons. However, his forces were met with fierce resistance from the Swiss militia, who were renowned for their disciplined formations and effective use of pikes. The print captures the chaos and intensity of the battlefield, with horses rearing and soldiers clashing in hand-to-hand combat. In the foreground, Charles the Bold is shown on horseback, attempting to rally his troops. However, the tide of the battle has already turned against him, and the Swiss militia, represented by the ranks of pikemen in the background, are poised to deliver a decisive blow. This historical print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and conflict in Europe's medieval history. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and determination of the soldiers who fought in this pivotal battle, and the enduring legacy of the Swiss militia in European military history.
