A Battle between Wankelin de Ferreres and Hugo de Montfort, c. 1400-15
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment from the 15th century, showcasing the intense clash between two noble warriors - Wankelin de Ferreres and Hugo de Montfort. Painted with exquisite detail using tempera and gold leaf on parchment by an anonymous French artist, this artwork is now housed in the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The scene depicted here originates from the "Chronique de Normandie" manuscript (Ms. Ludwig XIII 4), specifically folio 56, which recounts a tragic feud that unfolded in medieval France. Hugh, Lord Montfort (also known as "the Bearded of Montfort-sur-Risle"), engaged in a fierce combat with Valkelin (Walkelin) de FerriAres, Seigneur of FerriAres-Saint-Hilaire back in 1045. Both valiant warriors met their untimely demise during this fateful encounter as documented by Wace's Chronicle. The painting immortalizes this historical event for generations to come. Transporting us back to the Middle Ages, this artwork offers a glimpse into Norman history and showcases the skillful craftsmanship of French artists during that era. It serves as a testament to their dedication to preserving significant events through art. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us remember these fallen heroes who fought bravely for
