EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Agincourt: A Moment Before the Clash (December 20, 1903, The Sphere) This double-page spread from The Sphere magazine, published on December 20, 1903, showcases an evocative watercolor painting by renowned British artist John Hassall, depicting the pivotal moment before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. The painting, titled "The English Army Before the Battle of Agincourt," measures an impressive 1.4 meters in width and was exhibited at the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour that same year. Hassall, best known for his poster designs and book illustrations, masterfully captures the tension and anticipation of the British warriors as they prepare for the impending clash against the French army. The soldiers, dressed in armor and bearing weapons, stand in disciplined ranks, their faces etched with determination and resolve. The sun rises in the background, casting a golden glow over the scene, hinting at the heroism and valor that will soon unfold. The Battle of Agincourt, fought on October 25, 1415, was a significant turning point in the Hundred Years' War between England and France. The English army, led by King Henry V, emerged victorious despite being vastly outnumbered, securing English control over much of northern France. This painting serves as a testament to the bravery and resilience of the British warriors who fought in this iconic battle of the 15th century. John Hassall's watercolor painting, with its intricate details and vivid colors, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the morning of the Battle of Agincourt and allowing us to witness the moment before the historic event unfolded.
