The Ensor Advisory Committee is pleased to give a positive opinion regarding the authorship of this drawing by James Ensor.
In 1904, on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Siege of Ostend (1601-1604), the city of Ostend held a competition for artists to submit designs for a cortège that would evoke scenes from the battle. This military campaign was one of the most devastating in the Eighty Years’ War between the Spanish and Dutch over control of the Southern Netherlands. Ensor was among the selected artists to participate and the final submissions were exhibited together in a promotional event at the Casino-Kursaal in Ostend.
