EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the historic moment of self-sacrifice by Arnold von Winkelried at the Battle of Sempach in 1386. This engraving, created by Konrad Grob in the 19th century, depicts a pivotal event in German history. In this intense battle scene, we witness the bravery and heroism of Arnold von Winkelried. Arnold von Winkelried was a Swiss soldier who led his troops against the Austrian army during this fierce confrontation. Realizing that victory would require a sacrifice, he made an audacious decision to gather as many enemy spears as possible into his own body to create an opening for his comrades. With unwavering courage and patriotism, he charged forward towards certain death. This image portrays not only the physical act of sacrifice but also embodies the spirit of selflessness and devotion to one's country. The black and white illustration adds depth and intensity to this historical moment. The Battle of Sempach marked a significant turning point in European military history, showcasing both strategic brilliance and individual acts of valor. It serves as a reminder that true leadership is often defined by sacrifice and unwavering commitment to one's cause. As we reflect on this powerful image from the past, let us remember those who have fought selflessly throughout history for freedom, justice, and honor.
