EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment of Menno van Coehoorn, a renowned Dutch soldier and military engineer, during the Siege of Namur in 1692. Created by artist W Steelink around 1870, this image showcases Coehoorn's significant role in the war against his rival, Marquis de Vauban. Coehoorn had designed the fortress at Namur himself, but it fell to the French under Vauban's command. However, three years later, Coehoorn orchestrated a brilliant plan to recapture the city despite Vauban's modifications to its defenses. This victory marked his revenge over his great adversary. The print is part of "Nederlands Geschiedenis en Volksleven in Schetsen" a collection by J van Lenner and J ter Gouw that explores various aspects of Dutch history and culture. It offers us a glimpse into seventeenth-century warfare and siege tactics employed during the War of the Grand Alliance. The image depicts Coehoorn standing proudly amidst fortified walls while soldiers engage in battle nearby. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of authenticity to this historic scene. Menno van Coehoorn's legacy as a military genius is immortalized through this engraving by W Steelink. It serves as a testament to his strategic brilliance and unwavering determination in defending his homeland against foreign invaders.
