EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, fleeing in defeat after the Battle of Murten in 1476. The image captures a pivotal moment in history when the Swiss successfully repelled Charles' army and forced him to retreat. Clad in his armor, Charles is shown galloping away from the battlefield, his face filled with despair and determination. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical event to life. The intricate engravings showcase the soldiers' plate armors and mesh sizes, highlighting their strength and resilience during combat. Amidst the chaos of battle, we see troops engaged in fierce combat while others regroup for another assault. The black-and-white illustration adds a sense of timelessness to this scene from the 15th century. It transports us back to an era where royalty clashed on European soil for power and control. This print serves as a reminder of how even mighty rulers like Charles could be humbled by their adversaries. Displayed as part of Bildersaal Deutscher Geschichte (Union Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft) publication in 1890, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter of European history. It serves as both a visual representation and educational tool that allows us to reflect on past conflicts and appreciate the bravery exhibited by those who fought on these ancient battlefields. © Look and Learn / Bridgeman Images
