EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The English being chased out of Paris, April 1436" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Depicting the taking of Paris during the medieval period, this illustration from the Vigils of Charles VII by Martial of Paris offers a glimpse into the intense warfare between England and France. In this scene, we witness a group of English soldiers retreating from the city as they are fiercely pursued by French forces. Clad in colorful attire and distinctive helmets, these men embody the spirit of battle with their swords and pikes held high. Their tights and hose add an element of authenticity to their medieval dress. The image captures not only the physical conflict but also conveys a sense of triumph for France as they reclaim their capital city from English occupation. The intensity on both sides is palpable through every stroke on this manuscript turned print. Preserved within the collection at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this artwork serves as a testament to martial prowess and national pride during that tumultuous era. It transports us back to a time when war defined borders and shaped destinies. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we cannot help but marvel at its artistic beauty while contemplating the human cost that accompanied such conflicts. This print allows us to connect with our past, reminding us how far we have come since those turbulent times.
