EDITORS COMMENTS
Auguste Raffet's captivating watercolor print, titled "Surrender of the Citadel of Antwerp, 1832," depicts a moment of triumph and jubilation following the successful siege of the fortification. The Citadel of Antwerp, a significant stronghold located in the heart of the city, had been under siege by Belgian forces led by the Frères Gilhaut since November 30, 1832. The prolonged battle came to an end on December 23, 1832, when the Dutch and French garrison inside the fort surrendered. Raffet masterfully captures the scene of the victorious moment, with a large crowd of civilians and soldiers gathered at the base of the fort. Their faces are filled with excitement and relief, as they cheer and celebrate the end of the siege. In the background, the towering cityscape of Antwerp emerges, its buildings bathed in the warm, golden light of the setting sun. The intricate details of the scene are brought to life through Raffet's skilled use of watercolor paint. The fort's walls, adorned with gabions and a lacquer coating, stand proudly against the backdrop of the city. Soldiers in uniforms of various colors and patterns can be seen among the crowd, adding to the rich tapestry of the image. This print is part of a series of 24 works by Raffet, chronicling the siege of the Citadel of Antwerp. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the human emotion of the moment make this work a valuable addition to any collection of Belgian and European historical art.
