EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the poignant moment of surrender at the Battle of Poitiers on 19 September 1356 during the Hundred Years War between England and France. King John II of France, resplendent in his royal regalia and armored attire, is depicted in humility as he gives in to the English forces led by Edward, the Black Prince. The defeated monarch is shown extending his gauntlet in a symbolic gesture of submission, while English soldiers, their faces a mix of triumph and disbelief, approach to take possession of the French royal standard. The Battle of Poitiers was a significant turning point in the long-running conflict between the two nations. The English victory marked the end of French dominance in the war and led to the capture of King John II, who was held as a prisoner for over two years. The battle took place in the 14th century, during a time when armored knights on horseback ruled the battlefield. The intricate details of the armor, the horses' proud and powerful postures, and the soldiers' determined expressions all serve to transport us back to this pivotal moment in history. This print is a testament to the rich and complex history of the Middle Ages, a time of chivalry, honor, and warfare. The image of King John II's surrender serves as a reminder of the ebb and flow of power and the consequences of battlefield victories and defeats.
