Van der Kellen, a Dutch engraver and medallist, possessed a keen eye for the material culture of the Netherlands. The composition presents six swords arranged vertically, suspended within a decorative frame composed of oak leaves, acorns, and various implements of justice, including padlocks and halberds. The precision of the line work reflects the artist's background in medal engraving, where clarity and structural accuracy are paramount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work functions as a historical record of civic authority. By documenting these specific artefacts, Van der Kellen preserves the visual identity of Deventer's judicial history. The surrounding ornamentation, rendered with a high degree of technical control, provides a formal context for the weapons, elevating them from mere tools to objects of historical curiosity. The shading on the blades suggests a metallic weight, while the surrounding foliage is executed with a rhythmic, repetitive quality that balances the stark, linear nature of the swords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print is an example of nineteenth-century antiquarian interest, where artists sought to catalogue and preserve the physical remnants of the past. The composition is balanced and symmetrical, typical of formal documentation of the era. The choice of medium allows for the fine cross-hatching and crisp outlines necessary to distinguish the subtle variations in the hilts and pommels of the swords. It serves as a clear, objective representation of municipal history, devoid of unnecessary embellishment, focusing instead on the accurate depiction of the objects themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David van der Kellen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58512090136911,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58512124019023,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58512124051791,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58512124084559,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58512124117327,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58512124150095,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58512124182863,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58512124215631,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58512124248399,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58512124281167,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58512124313935,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58512124346703,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Beulszwaarden-van-de-stad-Deventer_Poster_CompositorV1_1786445424333.jpg?v=1787107092"},{"product_id":"heft-van-het-zwaard-van-de-beul-van-deventer-david-van-der-kellen","title":"Heft van het zwaard van de beul van Deventer - David van der Kellen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA precise etching by David van der Kellen documenting the hilt of the historical executioner's sword from Deventer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis precise etching by David van der Kellen depicts the hilt of the executioner's sword from Deventer. Van der Kellen, a Dutch artist and medallist, possessed a keen eye for the material qualities of metalwork. The composition focuses entirely on the weapon, presenting it in a vertical, static orientation that allows for a clear examination of its construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hilt features a twisted grip, which provides a tactile sense of the original object's texture. The crossguard is straight and relatively simple, contrasting with the more ornate pommel at the top. The pommel contains a circular emblem, rendered with careful attention to light and shadow to suggest a metallic surface. The artist employs fine, controlled lines to define the contours of the sword, using cross-hatching to indicate the depth and curvature of the grip and the reflective properties of the steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a document of historical weaponry, this work functions as a visual record of an object that held a specific, grim role in the civic life of Deventer. The artist avoids romanticising the subject, choosing instead to provide a clinical, accurate representation. The background remains plain, ensuring that the viewer's attention stays fixed upon the craftsmanship of the sword itself. This print is an example of the nineteenth-century interest in cataloguing historical artefacts, where the goal was to preserve the appearance of objects through meticulous graphic reproduction. The clarity of the line work and the balanced composition reflect the artist's background in the precise craft of medal engraving, where every detail requires exact execution.

The artist captures the sombre reality of the displaced population, documenting the makeshift conditions within the church walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is defined by the architectural rhythm of the church arches, which frame the groups of refugees gathered below. Van der Kellen employs a precise, linear technique to render the textures of the stone walls, the wooden ceiling beams, and the laundry hung across the nave to dry. The figures are depicted with a focus on their posture and collective presence, conveying the quiet desperation of those who lost their homes to the rising waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan der Kellen, a member of a well-known family of engravers and medallists, demonstrates a keen eye for observational detail in this work.

The result is a balanced study of light and structure, typical of the period's topographical printmaking traditions.

The scene avoids overt melodrama, instead presenting a moment of stillness following conflict. The inclusion of the discarded weapon and the act of tending to a wound provide a narrative quality, inviting the viewer to consider the personal cost of the soldier's profession. The print is a fine example of the technical skill required for mid-nineteenth-century etching, where the artist balances fine detail with broader tonal areas to create a cohesive image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/fishers-from-the-south-sea-charles-meryon\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFishers from the South Sea - Charles Meryon — Charles Méryon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/shepherd-shepherdess-and-flock-frederick-theodore-faber\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eShepherd, Shepherdess, and Flock - Frédérick Théodore Faber — Frédérick Théodore Faber\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David van der Kellen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58512531030351,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58512580378959,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58512580411727,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58512580444495,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58512580477263,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58512580510031,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58512580542799,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58512580575567,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58512580608335,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58512580641103,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58512580673871,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58512580706639,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Gewonde-krijgsman-Wounded-Soldier-_Poster_CompositorV1_1786448314262.jpg?v=1787111494"},{"product_id":"ridder-in-volle-wapenrusting-13e-eeuw-david-van-der-kellen","title":"Ridder in volle wapenrusting, 13e eeuw - David van der Kellen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed nineteenth-century lithograph by David van der Kellen depicting a knight in thirteenth-century chainmail armour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lithograph by David van der Kellen depicts a knight in full thirteenth-century armour. The work reflects the nineteenth-century interest in historical accuracy and the systematic study of medieval military equipment. Van der Kellen, a Dutch engraver and medallist, provides a clear, objective representation of the period's defensive gear, focusing on the chainmail hauberk, the coif, and the heater shield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure stands in a neutral pose against a plain background, which allows the viewer to examine the construction of the armour. The artist employs a restrained colour palette, using muted tones to suggest the texture of metal and fabric. The lithographic process captures the fine details of the links in the mail and the structural form of the shield. This type of illustration was common in educational publications and historical catalogues of the era, where the goal was to document the evolution of weaponry and attire for a public increasingly curious about the medieval past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan der Kellen's approach is analytical rather than dramatic. He avoids romanticised battle scenes, choosing instead to present the knight as a specimen of historical reality. The composition is balanced and direct, with the knight positioned centrally. The inclusion of the title and period at the base of the print confirms its function as a reference image. This print offers a glimpse into the nineteenth-century methodology of historical reconstruction, where artists worked to bridge the gap between contemporary knowledge and the material culture of the Middle Ages. It remains a useful document for those interested in the history of arms and armour, as well as the development of lithographic printing techniques in the Netherlands during the mid-to-late nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/le-soleil-rouge-zao-wou-ki\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLe Soleil Rouge - Zao Wou-Ki — Zao Wou-Ki\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David van der Kellen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58513103192399,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58513109254479,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58513109287247,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58513109320015,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58513109352783,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58513109385551,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58513109418319,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58513109451087,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58513109483855,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58513109516623,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58513109549391,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58513109582159,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Ridder-in-volle-wapenrusting-13e-eeuw_Poster_CompositorV1_1786454167713.jpg?v=1787119018"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/collections\/david-van-der-kellen.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
