EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Tours aka The Battle of Poitiers, 732. From Agenda Buvard du Bon Marche published 1917 captures a pivotal moment in history where two great armies clash in a fierce confrontation. This engraving, created by the French School in the early twentieth century, transports us back to the heart of this epic battle. In this intense scene, soldiers adorned in chainmail armor engage in a desperate fight against their adversaries. The air is thick with tension as shields are raised and swords clash amidst the chaos of war. The illustration skillfully depicts the bravery and determination of both sides as they fiercely defend their respective lands. The significance of this battle cannot be overstated - it marked a turning point for Europe's destiny. Here, on the battlefield near Tours, France faced an invasion from Umayyad forces seeking to expand Islamic territories into Gaul. Led by Charles Martel, also known as Charles the Hammer, Frankish troops valiantly defended their homeland against overwhelming odds. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom and sovereignty during that tumultuous time period. It stands as a testament to human resilience and courage in times of conflict. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece captured by Ken Welsh for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era when nations clashed and destinies were shaped on blood-soaked battlegrounds.
