EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Courtrai Chest" a remarkable piece of art from the 14th century Flemish School. Depicting two scenes from the historic Battle of the Golden Spurs fought in Courtrai in 1302, this wooden chest is an exquisite representation of medieval craftsmanship. In intricate detail, the top scene portrays the arrival of Guy of Namur and William of Jullich at Bruges. Guy, a knight with a lion on his shield adorned with a scalloped bar, stands alongside William who bears a lion on his shield with a lily on its shoulder. The scene below captures the line-up of town militias, where even a priest can be seen offering absolution to these brave soldiers. Every element carved into this relief panel tells a story - from soldiers wielding falchions and bows and arrows to pikes held by determined infantrymen. The presence of noblemen further emphasizes their commitment to defending their land against French forces. With its meticulous attention to detail and historical significance, "The Courtrai Chest" transports us back in time to witness this monumental battle firsthand. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also serves as an important reminder of our rich cultural heritage.
