EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Amiens surprise" depicts a pivotal moment in history when the Spaniards ingeniously outwitted their opponents to capture the city of Amiens. Created by renowned German artist Hermann Vogel in 1907, this illustration showcases his exceptional talent for capturing historical events with great detail and emotion. The scene takes us back to March 11,1597, during the War of Religions in France. The Spanish army had devised a clever trick to gain control over Amiens: they blocked the harrow with a cart. This unexpected maneuver caught the defenders off guard, allowing the Spaniards to breach the city's defenses and secure victory. Vogel's meticulous attention to detail brings this dramatic moment to life. The tension is palpable as soldiers engage in fierce combat amidst crumbling walls and billowing smoke. Each brushstroke conveys not only the chaos of battle but also the determination etched on every face. This particular print is part of a private collection, adding an air of exclusivity and rarity to its appeal. It serves as both a testament to Vogel's artistic prowess and an important historical record that reminds us of past conflicts and strategic ingenuity. Whether you are an art enthusiast or a history buff, "Amiens surprise" offers a fascinating glimpse into one remarkable event that forever shaped European warfare tactics.
