The Battle of Bautersem during the Ten Days Campaign, 1833
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by Nicholas Pieneman that depicts a significant moment in history. In this intense scene, Dutch troops clash with Belgian revolutionaries near the village of Boutersem, close to Louvain. The focal point of the artwork is the Prince of Orange, who would later become King William II. Pieneman skillfully captures the chaos and violence of war as he portrays the horse ridden by the prince being shot from beneath him. The smoke and gunfire in the background add to the sense of danger and uncertainty. This battle was part of a larger conflict that arose when Belgium seceded from the Netherlands in 1830. Nationalist sentiments were running high during these "Ten Days" but ultimately a truce was reached and Belgium gained its independence. Pieneman's attention to detail is evident throughout the painting, particularly in his depiction of soldiers on horseback and infantry engaged in combat. The farmhouse in the background serves as a reminder that this fierce battle took place within civilian surroundings. Now housed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this historical artwork allows viewers to reflect upon an important chapter in European history while appreciating Pieneman's artistic talent.
