EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the pivotal Battle of Garigliano or Garellano, which took place on October 28, 1503, in Italy. The conflict was a significant engagement in the Italian Wars, a series of battles for control of the Italian peninsula among European powers. The Holy League, an alliance consisting of Spain, Austria, Milan, the Pope, and Venice, was led by the Spanish general Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, and faced the French troops under the rule of Pierre Terrail, Lord of Bayard, serving under King Louis XII. The French army was attempting to invade the Kingdom of Naples, a possession of the Holy League. The engraving captures the intensity and chaos of the battlefield, with cavalry charges, infantry formations, and artillery duels. The Holy League's victory at Garigliano marked a turning point in the Italian Wars, as it halted the French advance and strengthened the position of the Holy League in Italy. This print is a testament to the military strategies and tactics employed during the Italian Wars, and the significant role that alliances and diplomacy played in shaping the political landscape of Europe during this period. The print is part of the vast collection of the National Library of Spain in Madrid, showcasing the historical significance of the Battle of Garigliano and the broader context of the Italian Wars.
