EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from history, titled "A Duel Between Two Sisters near Bordeaux, 1650". Created as a woodcut by the French School in the 17th century, this artwork showcases an intense confrontation between two female rivals. The image is sourced from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France and falls under public domain. The composition depicts a moment of rebellion known as "la fronde" where tensions run high and swords clash. This mazarinade-inspired duel unfolds with both sisters fiercely engaged in battle. Their determination is palpable as they wield their weapons - one brandishing a sword while the other prepares to strike with her sling. The panels of this woodcut reveal not only physical combat but also layers of political intrigue. It hints at the wider context of pamphlets circulating during that time period, fueling dissent against those in power. This powerful image invites viewers to reflect on themes such as sibling rivalry, female empowerment, and the complexities of historical conflicts. It serves as a reminder that even within families or close relationships, disagreements can escalate into fierce confrontations.
