EDITORS COMMENTS
The Seigneur de Senlis taken prisoner by the Spanish, Mons, 1572 (chromolitho) captures a pivotal moment in history during the French Wars of Religion. This stunning chromolithograph print, created by the Spanish School in the 19th century, depicts Adrien de Hangest, Seigneur de Senlis, being captured by the Spanish forces at Mons. Adrien de Hangest was a prominent commander of the French Huguenot army and led them into battle against the Spanish during the Siege of Mons. However, his army suffered a devastating defeat at the Battle of St Ghislain. This illustration is part of Glorias Espanola by Carlos Mendoza and showcases this significant event. The artwork beautifully portrays a chaotic battlefield scene with soldiers from both sides engaged in combat. The tension and drama are palpable as Adrien de Hangest is shown being apprehended by his captors. The attention to detail and vibrant colors bring this historical moment to life. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the religious conflicts that ravaged Europe during this period. It highlights not only military strategies but also human stories like that of Adrien de Hangest's capture. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to 16th-century Belgium where bravery clashed with adversity on these very grounds. It stands as a testament to both triumphs and tragedies that shaped European history.
