EDITORS COMMENTS
This detailed print captures a moment from the "Campaign of Emperor Charles V against the Turks" in 1535. The artwork, created by Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen, showcases the departure of the army with a focus on two women engaged in different tasks. In this charcoal and watercolor depiction, one woman is seen pulling oxen while another shoulders a water carrier. The image provides an intriguing glimpse into the roles played by women during this historical campaign. It highlights their strength and resilience as they contribute to the movement of supplies and support for the troops. The artist's attention to detail brings these women to life, emphasizing their importance within a male-dominated military context. Beyond its historical significance, this artwork also serves as a satirical commentary on power dynamics and social hierarchy during that era. Vermeyen's use of satire adds depth to his portrayal of King Charles V and his empire, challenging traditional notions of royalty and authority. Displayed at Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, this piece stands as a testament to Vermeyen's artistic skill and ability to capture both historical events and societal nuances through his work. It invites viewers to reflect upon not only the specific campaign depicted but also broader themes surrounding gender roles, power structures, and political satire prevalent during that time period.
