EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of the intense siege that took place at The Citadel of Antwerp, Belgium, from 19th November to 23rd December in 1832. The image showcases the resilience and strength of this historic fortress shortly after it withstood a relentless attack. The scene depicts a momentous occasion - the surrender of Dutch occupation to the French forces. Ferdinand De Braekeleer skillfully captured this pivotal event in his artistic work between 1832 and 1839. His attention to detail is evident as he portrays every aspect of the citadel's architecture, highlighting its grandeur even amidst destruction. The print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the consequences of war on such an iconic structure. The remnants left behind by cannon fire serve as a stark reminder of the violence endured during those fateful days. Displayed within museums and galleries worldwide, this artwork serves as a testament to human history and our ability to rebuild even in times of adversity. Its inclusion in prestigious collections like Liszt Collection's Arkheia further solidifies its significance within fine art. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of past conflicts but also how far society has come since then. It stands as both a tribute to those who fought for their beliefs and a symbol of hope for future generations striving for peace and unity.
