EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts the tragic moment known as the Death of Josse de Hallebin, an event that took place during the tumultuous Revolt of Flanders in 1382. The scene unfolds at the Long-pont, a bridge in the city of Valenciennes, where the Flemish militia, led by their standard-bearer, Josse de Hallebin, clash with the French army. The image captures the intensity and chaos of the battle, with soldiers from both sides locked in fierce combat. In the foreground, the fallen figure of Josse de Hallebin lies on the ground, his helmet knocked askew and his flag, bearing the distinctive red cross of Flanders, tangled in the netting of a French soldier's helmet. The expression on the face of the fallen hero conveys a sense of defiance and determination, even in death. The bridge itself is a chaotic scene of battle, with soldiers and horses jostling for position and the sound of clashing steel ringing in the air. The smoke from gunpowder and torches adds to the sense of confusion and danger. This print is a poignant reminder of the events that took place during the Revolt of Flanders, a pivotal moment in the history of the Netherlands. The conflict, which lasted from 1382 to 1385, saw the Flemish cities rise up against the French monarchy in a bid for greater autonomy and economic freedom. The revolt ultimately failed, but it marked the beginning of a new era in the history of the region. The Death of Josse de Hallebin is a powerful and evocative image that captures the spirit of the Revolt of Flanders and the sacrifices made by those who fought for their cause. It is a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous history of the Netherlands and the courage and determination of those who shaped it.
