EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching from the Liszt Collection titled "Retiring Wounded Battle November 15,1779" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the talented British artist John Hamilton Mortimer, this print beautifully captures the aftermath of a fierce battle that occurred on that fateful day. The scene depicted showcases soldiers retreating from the battlefield, their weary bodies and wounded comrades illustrating the toll of war. Mortimer's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays each soldier's exhaustion and pain through his masterful use of lines and shading. Measuring at approximately 8 15/16 x 6 inches (22.7 x 15.3 cm), this etching transports viewers into an era where bravery clashed with adversity. The composition evokes a sense of empathy for these courageous individuals who sacrificed their well-being for a greater cause. Mortimer himself was no stranger to tragedy; born in Eastbourne in 1740, he tragically passed away in London at just thirty-nine years old. However, his artistic legacy lives on through works like this one, which continue to captivate audiences centuries later. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, let us remember those who have fought valiantly throughout history and honor their sacrifices. This piece serves as both a testament to human resilience and a reminder of the profound impact war has on individuals and societies alike.
