EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "King James's troops are defeated at the Battle of the Boyne and flee, 1690" by Adriaan Schoonebeek, captures a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts the aftermath of King William III's Glorious Revolution in 1688 when his predecessor, King James II, was exiled to France as a guest of Louis XIV. In a desperate attempt to regain his crown with the support of Irish Catholics, James sailed to Ireland accompanied by French troops. However, their hopes were shattered on that fateful day at the Battle of the Boyne. The print shows King James's forces fleeing from their defeat against William III's army. The etching not only portrays this significant military event but also reflects broader themes such as religious intolerance and persecution prevalent during that era. It highlights the contrasting beliefs between Protestants and Catholics through its depiction of Dutch Protestant troops led by William III facing off against Catholic supporters under King James. Schoonebeek's artwork serves as an important historical document and propaganda piece for those aligned with William III and his cause. It immortalizes this crucial turning point in European history where power dynamics shifted dramatically within monarchies. This print is part of a private collection but can be appreciated by all who seek to delve into this tumultuous period marked by war and political upheaval.
