EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in 14th century French history, as depicted in the print titled 'Burnt Alive 1392' from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online. The scene unfolds at the court of King Charles VI of France, on the fateful day of January 29, 1392. In the midst of a grand masque or entertainment, an unfortunate accident occurs when a brazier or torch is knocked over, engulfing several men in flames. The chaos is palpable as panicked onlookers react to the scene. In the foreground, a man in a red robe, perhaps a nobleman, leaps into a nearby tub of water in a desperate attempt to save himself from the inferno. The water, however, does little to quench the flames that cling to his body. Beside him, a brave and quick-thinking lady, dressed in a flowing gown, rushes to the aid of another man who has been caught in the conflagration. With a selfless act, she smothers the flames against her dress and successfully rescues him from the fire's grasp. The print, with its intricate details and dramatic composition, offers a glimpse into the social scenes of the 14th century French court, where entertainment and tragedy intertwined in the most unexpected ways. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of life in the medieval world and the heroism that could emerge in the face of adversity.
