|2. ISRAEL AND THE AMALEKITES: THE BATTLE (reproduction).
B. xiii. 221, 8.—0. ii. p. 515.—Gal. 2.—P. v. 135, 8b (La Bataille).—
Chalc. Soc. 1889, No. 11.
The cavalry of the Israelites advancing from the 1. has already joined
battle with the Amalekite cavalry r. Six men are dismounted; one
(whose legs are represented in the preceding plate) lies prostrate 1.; a
second, sallen beneath the feet of the Israelite’s horse, desends himsels
with his shield held close over his head; a third, unhelmeted, retreats
with upraised shield ; a fourth, near the r. corner, advances his pike to
receive the charge os an Israelite horseman. There are twenty-one
figures in all. Signed hieronimvs near centre below.
[276 x 415] The Chalcographical Society’s reproduction is described in the
accompanying text as after an impression in the Albertina, but this is a mistake
for the Hofbibliotek.
Impressions : Vienna (H.-B.), Paris, B. N. (later state ? signed hieronimvs • m).
3. ISRAEL AND THE AMALEKITES: THE END OF THE BATTLE.
Gal. 3.—P. v. 135, 8C (La Bataille).
On the 1. are three Israelite horsemen in pursuit, the foremost os
whom is attacked by an Amalekite horseman brandishing a mace. In
the 1. foreground a kneeling foot soldier has lifted a dead and stripped
comrade on his shoulder. In the centre the general of the Amalekites,
distinguished by his richly ornamented breast-plate, stands by his horse,
on the other side os which is his squire. Further back, sour riders
retreat towards the r.; two other figures are indicated in outline
behind. To the r. two men are busy loading a mule ; the body and legs
of another appear in outline near the r. margin. In the r. background
a road leads up a hill crowned by a rock and trees. In the distance 1. of
this hill is a long line os mountains. Signed mocetvs near lower margin,
slightly 1. of the centre, with some scratches to the 1. of the signature,
which might reasonably be read as 1196.
[270 x 398] Clear impression from a plate which shows numerous scratches and
irregularities of surface.
