The Soldiers of Ghent Abandoning the Duke of Burgundy at the Siege of Calais, 1436
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving from the 19th century depicts a pivotal moment in history during the Hundred Years War. The soldiers of Ghent are seen abandoning their leader, Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, as they retreat from the besieged city of Calais in 1436. The image showcases the turmoil and betrayal that often accompanied medieval warfare. The soldiers, dressed in their Flemish armor and armed with weapons, turn their backs on their own commander. Their actions speak volumes about their loyalty and commitment to victory. The scene is set against a backdrop of ancient walls and crumbling buildings, symbolizing both the destruction caused by war and the fading glory of feudal Europe. This print captures not only a historical event but also reflects upon themes such as honor, duty, and power struggles within European royalty. As we gaze upon this digitally cleaned image today, we are reminded once again of how history shapes our present reality. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great leaders can be abandoned by those they trust most when faced with adversity. This engraving is part of an illustration for "Histoire De Belgique" by Theodore Juste (Alexandre Jamar), published in Brussels around 1870. Its inclusion in private collections ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate this significant moment in European history.
