EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print, titled "Lisbon Captured by French Troops under Robert of Normandy," is a stunning testament to the rich history of Europe's armed forces during the Baroque era. Created by the renowned Dutch artist Crispijn van de Passe, this pen drawing in brown and wash in gray and blue on paper captures the candid moment of the city's conquest by Duke Robert of Normandy, also known as Robert Curthose or Robert III, in the early 17th century. The image portrays the Duke and his army, led by the famous military commander, Peter Candid, riding towards the city walls of Lisbon, Portugal. The harbor is bustling with activity, as ships and soldiers prepare for the impending invasion. The cityscape is depicted with intricate detail, showcasing the grandeur and complexity of the European city during this time. Duke Robert of Normandy, a powerful figure in the Low Countries and France, led the French forces in the siege of Lisbon in 1614, which ultimately resulted in the capture of the city. This print is a visual representation of the historic event, offering a glimpse into the past and the military tactics of the time. Crispijn van de Passe, also known as Crispijn de Passe II or Crispijn van de Passe the Younger, was a prolific artist from the Netherlands who specialized in etchings and engravings. His works often depicted historical and mythological scenes, making him a significant figure in European art history. This particular print, with its intricate details and dynamic composition, is a masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences today.
