EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Soldiers selling Church plunder during the Great Civil War" takes us back to a tumultuous period in English history. Created by George Cattermole and based on Richard Cattermole's book, The Great Civil War of the times of Charles I and Cromwell, this artwork offers a glimpse into the chaos and destruction that ensued during this era. The image depicts soldiers from both sides of the conflict - Parliamentarians or Roundheads - engaging in illicit activities. In their hands are stolen treasures from churches, including statues, plates, gold, and silver. These soldiers have turned into opportunistic traders amidst the turmoil of war. The scene is set against the backdrop of a stone church monument with intricate architectural details. This juxtaposition highlights not only the loss suffered by religious institutions but also serves as a reminder of how art and architecture became casualties in this brutal conflict. Through this engraving, we witness not just an act of theft but also gain insight into the impact that war had on society at large. It raises questions about morality and ethics during times when survival often took precedence over principles. As viewers engage with this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, they are transported to an important chapter in English history where soldiers' actions reflect both desperation and disregard for cultural heritage.
