The Hospital, plate 15 from The Miseries and Misfortunes of War
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant depiction of the devastating consequences of war. Engraved by Israel Henriet in 1633, this print captures the despair and suffering experienced by soldiers who have become victims of conflict. In the image, we see a queue of wounded soldiers, some on crutches or with disfigured faces, waiting outside an asylum. Their poor physical condition is evident as they endure pain and misery while seeking medical assistance. The architecture of the building adds to the somber atmosphere, emphasizing their dire circumstances. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder that war not only inflicts physical injuries but also leaves lasting emotional scars. It exposes the harsh reality faced by veterans who are left handicapped or invalids after serving their country. Through this piece, Jacques Callot sheds light on the plight of these brave individuals who sacrificed their well-being for others' safety. The inclusion of French propaganda in this engraving further emphasizes its historical significance during the Thirty Years War. It highlights how governments used art to shape public opinion about conflicts and rally support for their cause. "The Hospital" invites viewers to reflect on the true cost of war – not just in terms of lives lost but also in terms of those forever changed physically and emotionally.
