EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Siege of Magdeburg, 20th March 1631" takes us back in time to a pivotal moment in history. Created by the talented artist Marshal Alexander around 1625-82, this artwork captures the intensity and chaos of a significant event during the Thirty Years' War. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, our eyes are immediately drawn to the center where Magdeburg stands tall amidst a sea of destruction. The city's walls are under siege as smoke billows from cannon fire and soldiers engage in fierce combat. The level of detail is astonishing; one can almost hear the clash of swords and feel the tension in the air. Marshal Alexander's skillful brushstrokes bring life to each character on canvas – brave defenders fighting valiantly against overwhelming odds, innocent civilians caught up in the horrors of war, and ruthless attackers determined to conquer their prize. This print serves as a powerful reminder that war leaves no one untouched.
