EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Pillage d une ville par les Normands" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a historical battle scene. Created by the French School, this black and white illustration is part of a private collection and was featured in Paul Lehugeur's "Histoire de France en Cent Tableaux". In this intense depiction, we witness the ruthless Viking raid on a city during the Carolingian dynasty. Led by Charles II, also known as Charles the Bald, King of France from 823 to 877, these invaders are shown looting and plundering with no mercy. The artist skillfully captures the chaos and confrontation that characterized such raids. The detailed engraving showcases not only the bravery of those defending their city but also highlights the sheer power and determination of these Norse warriors. This artwork serves as a reminder of Europe's tumultuous history while shedding light on an important era marked by conflict and territorial disputes. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon how past events have shaped our present-day society within both France and Europe as a whole. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for future generations to appreciate its historical significance.
