EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph depicts the intense Battle of Grandson in 1476, where Charles the Bold's Burgundian knights were ultimately defeated by Swiss pikemen. The artwork, created by Job (pseudonym for Onfray de Breville) and Jacques Montorgueil in 1905, beautifully captures the chaos and ferocity of medieval warfare. In this historical moment frozen in time, we witness the clash between two formidable forces. The Burgundian knights, adorned in their elaborate armor and mounted on powerful steeds, charge forward with unwavering determination. However, they are met with fierce resistance from the Swiss pikemen who stand their ground with long pikes held high. The battlefield is a scene of utter chaos as swords clash against shields and horses trample over fallen soldiers. The vivid colors bring to life every detail - from the intricate designs on the knights' armor to the vibrant flags fluttering above them. This print serves as a reminder of both triumph and defeat on that fateful day. It showcases not only the bravery and skill of these warriors but also highlights how tactical superiority can overcome sheer might. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when nations clashed for power and glory. It is an enduring testament to human resilience and valor amidst adversity.
