Simon Fokke created this print called 'Maarten Schenck van Nideggen Drowning Before Nijmegen, 1589' sometime in the 18th century. Fokke lived during the Enlightenment, a time when there was a renewed interest in rational thought and historical accuracy. Here we see the depiction of a military event from over a century before the print was made. The work illustrates a failed attempt by Maarten Schenck to capture Nijmegen during the Eighty Years' War. What can feel removed to us now, was a key moment in the collective memory of the Netherlands, a foundational narrative in the fight for independence. Consider, for a moment, the power dynamics at play. Schenck, a military leader, is remembered not for his victories but for his defeat. Fokke's print serves as a reminder of the human cost of war. It prompts us to reflect on who is remembered in history, and what aspects of their stories are told.
