EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the Prince of Orange at Quatre Bras on 16 June 1815. Positioned proudly atop his horse, the prince exudes authority and determination as he directs his troops forward. The intensity of the battle is palpable, with the chaos unfolding on both sides of him. To the left, we witness armies advancing with unwavering courage and unity. Their resolute march symbolizes their commitment to victory and serves as a testament to their loyalty to their leader. On the right side of the image, we are thrust into the heart of battle itself. The clash of swords and musket fire reverberates through every brushstroke, immersing us in this historic moment. This sketch by Jan Willem Pieneman was created as a preliminary study for a large canvas painting that would later adorn Soestdijk Palace. Pieneman's masterful use of oil paint brings depth and texture to this composition, allowing us to truly appreciate its intricacies. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, let us reflect on the bravery exhibited by all those involved in this significant event. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, great leaders emerge who can rally their troops towards triumph against all odds.
