Brandywine School Duel Quarrel Seconds Swordfight Dying
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - the Meeting of Captain Tollemache and Captain Pennington at The City Arms. Illustrated by John Austin Stevens for his book Old New York Taverns, this lithograph, created by Howard Pyle in 1890, transports us back to an era filled with duels and honor. In this scene, we witness the intensity of a quarrel between two captains as they prepare to engage in a swordfight. Both men are wounded and on the brink of collapse, their seconds anxiously standing by. The atmosphere is charged with tension and anticipation as these brave warriors face off against each other. The artwork belongs to the Brandywine School style, known for its attention to detail and dramatic storytelling. Pyle's masterful technique brings every element of this composition to life - from the expressions on the faces of both captains to the intricate details of their uniforms. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we can't help but be transported into a world where honor was valued above all else. It serves as a reminder that even in times long past, conflicts were settled through personal combat rather than words alone. This print is part of a private collection and offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only Pyle's artistic prowess but also delve into an intriguing chapter from history.
