EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical Battle of Almansa, which took place on 25th April 1707. Engraved by Jean Baptiste Morret in 1787 and later colorized by Sergent-Marceau, this artwork showcases the intensity and drama of the battlefield. The image depicts the Franco-Spanish army led by James Fitzjames, the 1st Duke of Berwick, as they triumph over English and Portuguese forces. This victory secured the Spanish throne for Philip V and solidified Berwick's reputation as a skilled military leader. In this scene, we witness an equestrian display of power and bravery amidst a chaotic battleground. The victorious French soldiers ride confidently while their defeated enemies surrender in defeat. The composition exudes a sense of grandeur with its sweeping landscapes and dynamic action. This historic event marked a significant turning point in European history, shaping political alliances and determining the fate of nations. The engraving beautifully encapsulates both the ferocity of war and the importance of strategic leadership. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection serves as a reminder of past conflicts that have shaped our world today. Its vibrant colors breathe life into an era long gone but not forgotten.
