EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Episode of the Battle of Marignan, 14th September 1515" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Desfontaines in 1790, this print transports us to the heart of the Italian Wars and showcases a pivotal event - the capture of Milan. The scene is set on a medieval battlefield in northern Italy. The artist skillfully captures the chaos and intensity of war as soldiers engage in combat. Cannon fire fills the air with smoke while armored warriors clash swords and fight for victory. Each figure is meticulously detailed, showcasing their bravery and determination amidst the turmoil. At its center stands King François I himself, leading his troops fearlessly into battle. His regal presence contrasts against the backdrop of destruction, symbolizing both his authority and commitment to reclaiming Milan from enemy forces. This artwork not only serves as an exquisite piece of historical documentation but also evokes emotions within viewers. It reminds us that even during times of conflict, there are moments where courage shines through adversity. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this print invites us to reflect upon our own resilience when faced with challenges. It encourages us to remember those who fought bravely before us and draws attention to humanity's enduring spirit throughout history.
