EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the aftermath of the Siege of Antwerp in 1832. The image showcases the Citadel of Antwerp, a fortress that stood strong against Dutch occupation but eventually surrendered to French forces. In the foreground, soldiers can be seen walking amidst the ruins of what was once a formidable stronghold. Their presence serves as a reminder of the intense battles and destruction that took place during this period. The remnants of walls and structures bear witness to the violence endured by both sides. As we gaze into the distance, our eyes are drawn to the profile of Antwerp city itself. Its silhouette stands tall against an overcast sky, symbolizing resilience and hope for rebuilding after such devastation. The artist behind this masterpiece is Ferdinand De Braekeleer (I), who skillfully captured this historical scene on canvas using oil paint. His attention to detail brings life to every brushstroke, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this pivotal moment. This print from Liszt Collection not only preserves an important piece of history but also invites us to reflect on human conflict and its consequences. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amid destruction, there is always potential for renewal and growth.
