EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection titled "Battlefield with cavalry and infantry Cavalry battle" transports us back to a tumultuous scene in history. The artist, Theodorus van Kessel, skillfully captures the chaos and intensity of a cavalry battle during an era when horsemen were both feared and revered. In this particular image, we witness a gripping clash between cavalry and infantry forces. On the right side of the frame, an infantryman desperately defends himself by shooting at a rider on a prancing horse who aims to crush him with his weapon simultaneously. Their fierce struggle epitomizes the relentless nature of warfare. Meanwhile, on the left side of the composition, another rider lies sprawled on the ground after being thrown off his horse. In a chilling display of brutality, he is mercilessly stabbed in the chest by yet another mounted warrior wielding a sword. These dramatic moments unfold against a backdrop filled with similar scenes depicting soldiers engaged in life-or-death struggles. Part of an impressive six-part series dedicated to showcasing pivotal cavalry battles throughout history, this print exemplifies Van Kessel's mastery as an etching artist. Its intricate details bring forth emotions ranging from fear to admiration for these brave combatants who fought valiantly amidst chaos. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded that war has always been marked by sacrifice and heroism; it is through such depictions that we gain insight into our shared human experience across time.
