EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking oil painting by Cornelis Kruseman captures a pivotal moment during the Battle of Boutersem in the Ten Days' Campaign of 1831. The Prince of Orange, later King Willem II of the Netherlands, is depicted in the midst of the chaos, changing the saddle on his wounded horse. The battle, fought in the Belgian town of Boutersem, was a significant engagement during the Belgian Revolution, which aimed to establish an independent Belgian state. The scene is set against a backdrop of smoke and dust, with soldiers and horses in various states of distress. The Prince, dressed in military attire and wearing a helmet, demonstrates remarkable courage and leadership, despite his own injury. His men rally around him, offering support and encouragement. The painting is a testament to the heroism and resilience of the Dutch military during this period. It also highlights the importance of the horse in military warfare, as the animals were essential for transportation and communication on the battlefield. Cornelis Kruseman, a Dutch painter, expertly captures the drama and intensity of the moment. The use of color and light creates a vivid and dynamic image, drawing the viewer into the heart of the action. The painting is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and is a valuable addition to the heritage of European art and history.
