EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Spanish Warhorse, a magnificent white battle stallion captured by Lodewijk Gunther of Nassau from Archduke Albert of Austria during the historic Battle of Nieuwpoort in 1600. The horse, almost life-sized and exuding strength and grace, is led by a dedicated stable man who carefully guides it towards its new owner. Presented to Prince Maurits as a symbol of victory and valor, this prized trophy represents the triumphs achieved on the battlefield. Its presence evokes images of fierce clashes and heroic feats that shaped history. The canvas captures every detail with precision, showcasing the mastery of Jacob de Gheyn (II) in oil paint. The significance of this warhorse extends beyond its physical attributes; it embodies the spirit of courage and resilience that defined an era marked by conflict. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when nations clashed for power and glory. Nieuwpoort's battlegrounds come alive through this print, reminding us not only of past struggles but also celebrating those who fought bravely for their cause. It serves as a testament to Louis Gunther Count's prowess as he successfully seized such an esteemed prize from Archduke Albertus himself. Let us appreciate this extraordinary work as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact—a powerful reminder that even amidst chaos and destruction, beauty can emerge.
