EDITORS COMMENTS
The etching titled "Duc de Schomberg and Doctor Walker are killed at the Battle of the Boyne, 1690" captures a pivotal moment in history. Depicting the aftermath of the battle, this print by Adriaan Schoonebeek portrays two significant figures who lost their lives fighting for opposing sides. In 1690, following King William III's successful revolution in England, James II found himself exiled to France. Determined to reclaim his crown with the support of Irish Catholics, he sailed to Ireland accompanied by French troops. However, his hopes were shattered when he faced defeat at the Battle of the Boyne. This image immortalizes that fateful day as it shows both Duc de Schomberg and Dr. Walker lying lifeless on the battlefield. The French Duke fought valiantly alongside William III's forces but tragically met his demise during this historic clash. Driven by religious tensions between Protestants and Catholics, this battle became a symbol of intolerance and persecution. Through its powerful imagery, this etching serves as a piece of historical propaganda highlighting Protestant victory over Catholicism. It emphasizes King William III's triumph while demonizing James II and his supporters known as Jacobites. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of the bravery displayed by these fallen soldiers but also of how religion can fuel conflicts throughout history. This artwork invites us to reflect on past struggles for power and question our own capacity for tolerance in an increasingly diverse world
