EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print depicts the Battle of Roosebeke, which took place on November 27, 1382, during the Hundred Years War. The French army, led by King Charles VI and the Duke of Burgundy, Philip II the Bold, was determined to quell the Flemish revolt in Ghent, which was being spearheaded by Philip van Artevelde. The vivid image, taken from an abbreviated facsimile edition of the 15th-century Chroniques by Jean Froissart, published by Editions Hachette in Paris in 1881, showcases the grandeur and intensity of the Gothic art and miniature painting of the time. The vertical composition of the print, with its rich colors and intricate details, immerses the viewer in the midst of the clash between the Western powers of the day. Olivier Clisson, a French knight, commanded the French forces in this decisive battle. The print captures the moment of triumph as the French army, with their banners held high, charge towards the Flemish rebels. The scene is filled with a sense of drama and tension, as the outcome of the battle hangs in the balance. The Battle of Roosebeke marked a significant turning point in the Hundred Years War, and this stunning print serves as a testament to the historical significance and artistic mastery of the period. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the events of the Middle Ages to life, transporting us back in time to witness the grandeur and intensity of this pivotal moment in Western history.
