Notes |
This composition is known in several versions by Vrancx and his workshop. The best of these is probably the picture in the Musée d'Art Wallon, Liège (oil on panel, 46.5 by 85.5 cm.), while versions such as those in the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, Brussels (inv. no. 10 836; oil on panel, 47.5 by 86 cm.), and Amsterdam, the Institut Collectie Nederland (inv. no. NK2026; oil on panel, 46.5 by 86.5 cm.) probably reflect a greater degree of studio participation. It is likely that all of the versions that have so far been traced are ultimately derived from a lost original painted entirely by Vrancx (From: Sotheby's). That the battle depicted is not likely to have been a specific event is underscored by the variety of heraldic emblems used: the Dutch flag in the foreground; the old form of the French fleur-de-lys beneath the trumpet to the right; and the slightly misunderstood Spanish arms beaneath the trumpet to the left. |
