EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "A soldier on guard shaping the match between his thumb and his forefinger" transports us back to the 16th century, immersing us in a world of warfare and military precision. The image is part of the Marksmen series, specifically plate 41, from the renowned work "Wapenhandelinghe van Roers Musquetten Ende Spiessen (The Exercise of Arms)" by Jacques de Gheyn II. In this engraving, we witness a lone soldier diligently preparing for battle. His focused gaze is fixed downwards as he expertly shapes a match between his thumb and forefinger. Adorned in armor with a chest plate, he stands tall as an embodiment of strength and determination. This portrait captures not only the physicality but also the mental fortitude required in times of war. It serves as a testament to the unwavering commitment that soldiers throughout history have displayed while defending their nations. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this Netherlandish artwork offers us insight into an era marked by conflict and constant vigilance. Its baroque aesthetic adds depth to its historical significance, reminding us that even amidst chaos, art can thrive. As we observe this striking image today, it prompts reflection on our own appreciation for peace and gratitude towards those who have fought valiantly before us.
