1337 1410 Chronicler Froissart Scott Surplice Tonsure
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the distinguished figure of Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1410), the renowned French chronicler and eyewitness to many significant historical events during the Hundred Years War between England and France. Froissart's extensive body of work, which includes the "Chroniques," "Les Blanches-Femmes," and "Les Déeds du Temps," is considered a primary source for the history of the 14th and early 15th centuries. In this portrait, Froissart is depicted in the attire of a cleric, with a white surplice and a tonsure, reflecting his status as a learned man and a member of the Church. The tonsure, a distinctive mark of a cleric, is visible at the crown of his shaved head. Froissart's white beard, which frames his face, adds to his wise and venerable appearance. The image conveys a sense of the reverence and respect accorded to Froissart as a historian and chronicler. His works were highly valued for their detailed and accurate accounts of the political, military, and social events of his time. Froissart's chronicling of the Hundred Years War, in particular, has been praised for its vivid descriptions and insight into the motivations and actions of the key players. This photograph print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring importance of Froissart's contributions to the historical record. The image invites us to reflect on the role of chroniclers and historians in preserving the past for future generations and shedding light on the complexities and nuances of history.
