About the Item
Burgundian Triumph – The Grand Procession of Charles the Bold’s Defeat
This captivating hand-colored lithograph, created by H. Jenny and lithographed by Kümmerly and Wittmer, is part of the 'Fest Album' commemorating Bern’s entry into the Swiss Confederation on March 6, 1353. Published in Bern and Zurich in 1855, this large oblong folio captures the spectacular historical reenactments of 1853, celebrating Swiss victories, particularly their triumph over Charles the Bold of Burgundy.
At the heart of this scene is a magnificent triumphal chariot, a grand display of power and victory. The imposing wagon, drawn by a team of stately horses, is richly adorned with captured Burgundian banners, heraldic emblems, and draped fabrics that signify the spoils of war. Towering above the procession is a mounted figure clad in full armor, likely representing the effigy of Charles the Bold himself, a visual symbol of his defeat in the Burgundian Wars.
Leading the way is an elegant procession of young nobles and pages, dressed in splendid Renaissance attire. Each carries a symbolic item—crowns, staffs, and banners—representing the wealth and prestige gained from the Swiss victories. The fine detailing of their garments, from the intricate embroidery to the vibrant hues of green, blue, and gold, showcases the artistic mastery of 19th-century lithographic printing. Their expressions and gestures exude an air of ceremony and triumph.
Flanking the chariot are mounted figures in red, likely representatives of the victorious Swiss Confederation. They hold banners and swords, reinforcing the military strength of the Confederation and its ability to humble even the mightiest European rulers. The swirling motion of the flags and the disciplined march of the procession create a scene that is both theatrical and deeply historical.
This lithograph encapsulates the Romantic-era fascination with medieval chivalry, conquest, and national pride. It is a visual commemoration of Switzerland’s defiance against foreign domination, immortalizing a key moment in the formation of the Swiss national identity. The harmonious use of color, dynamic composition, and historical grandeur make this a truly remarkable piece.
Condition Summary:
The lithograph remains in good condition, with beautifully preserved hand coloring that brings the historic spectacle to life. Minor signs of aging, such as light foxing in the margins, do not detract from the artwork’s vibrancy. The paper remains strong and well-maintained, making this an exceptional collectible for enthusiasts of Swiss history and 19th-century lithography.
Framing Tips:
To best showcase this print, consider a high-quality frame with UV-protected museum glass or acrylic to prevent fading. A wide mat border in neutral or deep jewel tones will enhance the regal quality of the scene. A dark wooden or gold-accented frame will complement the heraldic richness of the composition. Using archival mounting materials will ensure its long-term preservation.
