EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable medal commemorating the historic Battle of La Hogue in 1692. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 17th century, this metal masterpiece is part of the esteemed Timothy Millett Collection. The obverse side of the medal portrays Neptune emerging triumphantly from the sea, symbolizing his attack on a defeated Louis XIV. The Latin inscription "Non Illi Imperium sed mihi sorte Datum" boldly declares that destiny has granted command of the sea not to Louis XIV but to William III, emphasizing the naval victory achieved by an Anglo-Dutch force in the Channel. The Battle of La Hogue was a pivotal moment in history when England and its Dutch allies successfully repelled French forces during King William's War. This stunning commemorative piece captures both the significance and grandeur of this decisive battle. With intricate details such as tridents and relief work, this medal exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship. Its historical value lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its representation of a significant event that shaped European politics and maritime power dynamics. Preserved through time, this photograph allows us to appreciate and admire this extraordinary artifact from our past. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us of our enduring fascination with capturing moments through art for generations to come.
