EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Taking of Breisach" a remarkable historical painting attributed to Leonardo, Jusepe or Jose (de Chavier). The artwork is housed in the prestigious Prado Museum located in Madrid, Spain. Depicting a pivotal moment during the Thirty Years War, the scene unfolds with great intensity and drama. The Saxon and French armies are shown capturing the fortress of Breisach in 1638. Clad in plumed hats and armor, soldiers armed with muskets advance towards their target while besieging the stronghold. Amidst this chaotic setting, an equestrian messenger gallops through the battlefield delivering crucial information to his comrades. The fall of Breisach seems imminent as troops march forward under Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar's command. The artist masterfully captures every detail - from the majestic horses charging ahead to soldiers clad in piebald armor. This composition not only highlights the ferocity of battle but also emphasizes wildlife and farm animals caught up within its grasp. "The Taking of Breisach" serves as a poignant reminder of war's devastating impact on both humans and nature alike. It immortalizes a significant event that shaped history while showcasing Leonardo/Jusepe/Jose de Chavier's exceptional talent for capturing such intricate scenes. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to an era where bravery clashed against adversity amidst smoke-filled battlegrounds.
