EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 16th century showcases Bertrand du Guesclin, a legendary figure in French history. Known as the Eagle of Brittany or the Black Dog of Broceliande, du Guesclin was not only a Breton knight but also a formidable military commander during the tumultuous Hundred Years War. In this portrait, we see du Guesclin portrayed with great dignity and strength. His profile is striking, emphasizing his commanding presence on the battlefield. Clad in armor and holding a sword firmly in one hand, he exudes an air of authority and fearlessness. Despite his balding head and distinguished moustache, du Guesclin's appearance does not diminish his prowess as a warrior. The artist has captured both his physical attributes and inner determination through meticulous detail. The print also includes elements that symbolize du Guesclin's noble heritage and military achievements. A coat of arms proudly adorns his smock while highlighting his status as Count de Longueville and Constable of France from 1370 until his death. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to Bertrand du Guesclin's enduring legacy as one of France's most celebrated military leaders. It offers us a glimpse into history, allowing us to appreciate the bravery and skill that defined this extraordinary man who played such an influential role during one of Europe's most turbulent periods – the Hundred Years War.
