Robert Hillingford.
HILLINGFORD, Robert Alexander.
Born London 1825. Died there in 1904. Hillingford was a very prolific artist of Historic genre pictures particularly
scenes of battle. He was a Costume Realist and like many similar artists of the
day such as Crofts, Woodville and Leutze, he studied in Dusseldorf returning to
England in 1864, and exhibited his first picture at the Royal Academy two years
later. Towards the end of his life he began to paint military scenes
particularly events from the Napoleonic Wars, i.e. there are numerous paintings
by him depicting incidents before, during and after the battle of Waterloo.
Other themes popular with the artist were the battles of the Duke of
Marlborough, Dettingen, and military events of the seventeenth century, but
Hillingford did produce some contemporary paintings such as Sebastapol; the
attack on the Redan exhibited in 1899 and his Royal Academy picture of 1901,
South Africa 1901: the dawn of Peace in which Lord Kitchener on horseback holds
up a peace proclamation surrounded by Boer Civilians. Hillingford paid close
attention to accuracy in details of dress and had a collection of original
uniforms. He was Vice President of the Kernoozers Club, the members of which
were all collectors of objects d'art and militaria, but he achieved limited fame
during his lifetime.

| The Surrender of the Town of Alkmaar by the Dutch by Robert Hillingford (GL) After capturing Haarlem, the Spanish troops of the Duke of Alva moved to take Alkmaar, 20 miles to the northwest of Amsterdam. Alvas natural son Don Frederic of Toledo again commanded the attack. With 16,000 men the Spaniard struck the city on August 21, 1573. He was beaten off by a stubborn defense carried out by only 2,000 soldiers and armed townspeople. Don Frederic then laid siege to the city. The Alkmaarites retaliated by opening the dikes and flooding the land. An inland Spanish fleet under the Comte Bossu (Jean de Henin-Lietard) sought to come up to help the besiegers. It was met in the Zuider Zee by a Dutch naval force under Admiral Dirkzoon. The Dutch destroyed the Spanish ships, capturing Bossu. On October 8 the Spanish had to abandon the siege. Alkmaar thus became the first city in the Netherlands to resist successfully the iron hand of Phillip II. It was also Alvas last battle against the Dutch; he was succeeded by Don Luis de Requesens. (It is likely the artist has mixed up the name of the town of Alkmaar with the captured city of Haarlem) Limited edition of 200 giclee canvas prints. Image size 36 inches x 24 inches (91cm x 61cm).
