"La mort / Du Duc de Berry." is a print from the early 19th century by F. Holtkamp, depicting the assassination of Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry, in 1820. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a sequence of six scenes, each providing a visual narrative of the duke's final moments. This work, likely intended for a wide audience, uses text and imagery to offer a dramatic and detailed account of a significant historical event. The use of black and white with muted tones of yellow and red creates a stark and solemn atmosphere, reflecting the somber nature of the subject matter. This woodcut print is an example of historical printmaking, often used to disseminate information and shape public opinion.
