As the battlefield finally fell silent and the dust settled, the aftermath of the battle became painfully apparent. The landscape was ravaged, littered with debris and remnants of weaponry. The air was heavy with the scent of smoke, blood, and desperation.

Survivors emerged from the shadows, some wounded and others still in shock. The wounded were helped to makeshift medical stations, where exhausted medics worked tirelessly to patch up their injuries. The cries of pain and anguish filled the air, mingling with the solemn silence of those who had lost their comrades.

The aftermath brought a mix of relief and grief. Some celebrated their victory, while others mourned the loss of those who had fallen in battle. Families and loved ones searched desperately among the wounded and the dead, hoping to find solace or answers. Tears streamed down the faces of warriors and civilians alike, their hearts heavy with the weight of loss.

Jan van den Hecke was a Flemish painter and etcher. He was born in Kwaremont near Oudenaarde, Flanders, moved to Antwerp at an early age, where he worked as an apprentice in the workshop of the little-known painter Abraham Hack for two years. In 1642 he became a member of the guild of St Luke. After spending some time in Italy and Brussels in the 1650's, in 1659 van den Hecke settled definitively in Antwerp.

Although he painted a couple of Roman cityscapes, some cavalry battles and several landscapes in an Italianate style, van den Hecke mostly specialized in still-life paintings. Among these are a number of pronkstillevens and a number of still-lifes with game in the style of Jan Fyt; it were his flower pieces, however, that were most sought after. Several of them found their way into the collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria, governor of the Spanish Netherlands, whose art collection went on to form the nucleus of the picture collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

The approach of rescue and recovery teams signaled the beginning of the next phase. They arrived with urgency, their presence bringing a glimmer of hope amidst the despair. They combe through the wreckage, searching for survivors and tending to the fallen.
