EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the Surrender of Chateauneuf de Randon during the year 1380. The image showcases the English governor of Chateauneuf de Randon as he humbly lays the keys of the city on the coffin of Bertrand du Guesclin. This poignant act symbolizes not only the surrender but also pays homage to du Guesclin, who had besieged and ultimately conquered the city. According to legend, du Guesclin's demise was attributed to drinking fresh water from the pre de la Glauze fountain. His untimely death adds an intriguing layer to this historical event, further emphasizing its significance. Illustrated by Gilbert in the late 19th century, this particular print is part of a private collection and offers viewers a glimpse into this pivotal moment in time. The artist skillfully brings out emotions through his work, capturing both triumph and sorrow within one frame.
