EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, titled "The Aftermath of Battle" we are transported to a scene of both triumph and despair. Painted by Jan the Younger Martsen in the 17th century, this oil on copper masterpiece captures the raw emotions that follow a brutal conflict. Within an oval frame measuring 16x22cm, our eyes are drawn to the central figures: a victor and his vanquished opponent. The defeated warrior lies humiliated on the ground, stripped of his armor and dignity. His breastplate serves as a stark reminder of his former strength now reduced to mere carcass. The artist skillfully portrays the aftermath of slaughter with meticulous attention to detail. The battlefield is littered with remnants of war - discarded weapons, broken drums - all serving as haunting symbols of violence and destruction. As we gaze upon this print from Johnny van Haeften Gallery in London, UK, we cannot help but feel a sense of melancholy mixed with awe for Martsen's ability to capture such complex emotions within such limited space. "The Aftermath of Battle" invites us to reflect on the consequences and futility of warfare while also acknowledging its inevitable role throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst victory, there is often great loss and suffering left behind in its wake.
