EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print captures a pivotal moment in history - the French army crossing the mighty Rhine into the Low Countries in 1672. The image, masterfully recreated by Charles Louis Simonneau from an original work by Adam Frans van der Meulen, transports us back to the beginning of the Franco-Dutch War. As we gaze upon this historical illustration, we witness a scene filled with anticipation and determination. The French soldiers march resolutely across the river, their uniforms gleaming under the sunlight. The Rhine's powerful currents seem insignificant compared to their unwavering resolve. The significance of this event cannot be overstated. This daring crossing marked France's bold incursion into Dutch territory, igniting a conflict that would shape European politics for years to come. It was a time when nations clashed over power and dominance, leaving indelible marks on both land and people. Through Ken Welsh's expertly preserved print, we are granted access to an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a window into our collective past, reminding us of the sacrifices made and battles fought for control over these lands centuries ago. Let this remarkable piece transport you back in time as you contemplate its intricate details – each stroke capturing not only a moment frozen in history but also evoking emotions that resonate even today.
