EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, specifically to the Fraternity of the Cross-bowmen. Created in 1870 by Paul Lacroix, this wood engraving beautifully captures a fresco painting found in the chapel of St John and St Paul in Ghent. In this scene, we witness a group of medieval men engaged in various activities that reflect their roles within the fraternity. A trumpeter stands tall, his musical instrument poised at his lips as he prepares to sound a call. The flag bearer proudly holds aloft a banner adorned with intricate designs, symbolizing unity and identity. Amidst these musicians and standard bearers are crossbowmen donned in chain mail armor, readying their weapons for battle. Their bows are tautly drawn as they focus on their targets with unwavering determination. This image not only showcases their skill but also highlights archery as both sport and warfare during this time period. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to every detail captured by Lacroix's engraving technique. Each stroke emphasizes textures and expressions while transporting us into an era filled with chivalry and honor. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Heritage Images, we cannot help but be transported back centuries ago when flags fluttered proudly amidst sounds of music mingling with war cries – a testament to the rich history depicted within these walls.
