Armes Away Cent Infantrymen Orders Scruffy Sergent Tents 14th Officers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 14th century print depicts a stern French Sergeant D'Armes, dressed in full military regalia, barking orders at a group of disheveled infantrymen who have encamped too close to the officers' tents. The sergeant, with his distinctive surcoat adorned with the insignia of his rank and a helmet under his arm, stands tall and authoritative, his expression conveying a no-nonsense attitude. The infantrymen, clad in chainmail hauberks and carrying various weapons, huddle together, some with weary resignation, others with defiance. The contrast between the neatly ordered officers' tents and the chaotic scene unfolding before them underscores the hierarchical structure of the medieval military. The print, which dates back to the early 14th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a medieval army, with its strict discipline and the importance of maintaining order and rank. This powerful image, with its intricate details and rich historical context, is a must-have for any collection focused on military history, medieval studies, or art history.
