EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in French history - the fateful duel between Francois de Vivonne de la Chataigneraie and Guy de Chabot, Baron de Jarnac. Taking place on July 10,1547, in Saint Germain en Laye, France, this duel was fought with swords and ended tragically for Francois. In the presence of King Henry II and his court, these two noble men engaged in combat that would forever be etched into the annals of French society. The engraving showcases the intensity of the battle as both knights fiercely clash their blades while spectators watch with bated breath. Guy de Jarnac emerged victorious by delivering a fatal blow to his opponent's shank. This act of justice solidified Jarnac's reputation as a skilled warrior but also highlighted the brutal nature of duels during this era. The image beautifully portrays the elaborate costumes worn by these noblemen, emphasizing their status within society. It serves as a reminder of an age when honor and rivalry were settled through personal combat rather than legal means. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful capture transports us back to this significant event in French history. Through this photo print, we are invited to reflect upon the complexities of power dynamics within royal courts and witness firsthand how one man's victory came at such great cost for another.
