EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Battlefield with horseman looking over his left shoulder toward stripped corpse on the ground, a clothed figure and horse lying to the right, horsemen carrying flags beyond, 1652" takes us back to the intense atmosphere of a 17th-century battlefield. Created by Dutch artist Karel Du Jardin, this etching captures the raw emotions surrounding war. In this scene, a lone horseman gazes over his left shoulder towards a haunting sight - a stripped corpse lying lifeless on the ground. The image evokes feelings of sorrow and contemplation as we witness the devastating consequences of conflict. To the right lies another poignant figure; a clothed individual alongside their fallen steed. The composition is further enriched by other horsemen in the distance carrying flags high above them. They symbolize both unity and determination amidst chaos. Du Jardin's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment filled with tension and uncertainty. As we observe this artwork from centuries past at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it serves as an important reminder of humanity's capacity for destruction during times of war. It also highlights our eternal quest for peace and understanding amid such turmoil. Through its monochromatic palette and skillful execution, "Battlefield with horseman looking over his left shoulder toward stripped corpse" invites viewers to reflect upon our shared history while contemplating how far we have come in our pursuit of harmony.
