EDITORS COMMENTS
The Burning of Lille, c17th century (1923) captures a dramatic moment in history through the skilled brushstrokes of Urbanus Leyniers. This photo print, featured in The Connoisseur Vol LXV, takes us back to the outskirts of France during the 17th century. Against a vibrant skyline, men on horseback gallop through a chaotic scene of preparation and battle. The artist's use of color brings life to this historical event as flames engulf buildings and billowing smoke fills the air. Amidst the chaos, animals and people are seen fleeing for safety while others gather firewood and logs for fueling the destructive blaze. Leyniers' attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of horses charging fearlessly into battle, their powerful presence adding an extra layer of intensity to this already gripping image. The tapestry-like quality further enhances its historical significance. This striking composition not only showcases Leyniers' artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of the ravages brought by war throughout centuries past. It transports viewers back to a time when conflict was commonplace and survival hung in precarious balance. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images, we are reminded that history has shaped our present reality and should be remembered with both reverence and caution.
