Lambert de Hondt. Painted c. 1675.

The French army at Schenkenschans, 18-19 June 1672. Attributed to Lambert de Hondt II, 1672. Schenkenschans was a fortress on a strategic promontory in the Rhine at Lobith. After the French army had crossed the Rhine, Schenkenschans was attacked and captured from Arnhem. The French troops were commanded by the 61-year-old Marshal Turenne, who had served in the Republic's army as a young man. Turenne is shown in the foreground, directing his troops down the hill with his staff. Schenkenschans is depicted from the air. The French are approaching the fortress from all sides.
