EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the daring capture of Audenarde in 1382 by Francis Atremen, a citizen of Ghent. With only 400 men at his side, Atremen fearlessly scaled the fortified walls of the city using ladders under the cover of night when Audenarde was left undefended. The scene depicted here is based on an illuminated manuscript from Sir John Froissart's Chronicles, showcasing the historical event in intricate detail.
The bravery and strategic prowess displayed by Atremen and his men are truly remarkable, as they successfully overtook a well-defended city through sheer determination and cunning tactics. The hand-colored lithograph beautifully brings to life this momentous occasion from medieval history, highlighting the courage and resourcefulness of those involved.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the audacious feat accomplished by Atremen and his band of warriors. Their victory serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. This artwork not only commemorates a significant event but also celebrates the indomitable spirit that drives individuals to achieve greatness against all odds.
