EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of the death of Jean T Serclaes, Count of Tilly (1559-1632) during the Battle of Rain am Lech in 1632. Created by an unknown artist at the end of the 19th century, this engraving showcases a pivotal event from the Thirty Years War. In this intense scene, we witness the chaos and devastation that war brings. The battlefield is filled with soldiers clad in armor, representing opposing sides - Catholicism and Protestantism. Amidst this clash of religious ideologies, Count Tilly meets his tragic fate. The image also highlights the presence of clergy on the battlefield, emphasizing how religion played a significant role in shaping conflicts during this period. It serves as a reminder that even those who were supposed to promote peace found themselves embroiled in violence. Additionally, one cannot overlook the poignant details within this artwork. A transport vehicle resembling a wheelchair stands out amidst all the turmoil—a symbol not only of Count Tilly's injury but also reflecting society's understanding and treatment of war wounded during that time. As we delve into history through Giancarlo Costa's remarkable work, we are transported back to an era defined by strife and division. This engraving invites us to reflect on humanity's capacity for destruction while reminding us to strive for unity and peace in our own times.
