After the decisive victory in the battle near Ravenna, Gaston chased the retreating enemy but got a fatal wound. Unlike Neoclassical artists, who treated the death of the hero as an example of noble self-sacrifice for the sake of one's native land, Scheffer interprets the death of Gaston not as a panegyric to civil virtue, but as the tragic end to the life of a real individual, a chance victim of fate.
