EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of a significant historical event, "Le Champ de Drap d Or" engraved by James Basire. The artwork depicts the iconic meeting between two powerful monarchs, Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France, which took place from 7th to 24th June 1520. The image showcases an impressive encampment near Calais, where a magnificent field adorned with golden cloth was erected. In this grand setting, both kings met to arrange an alliance and showcase their wealth and power through extravagant pageantry. The attention to detail in this etching & engraving is remarkable. It beautifully portrays the architecture of the tents and marquees that housed these influential figures during their negotiations. The presence of military fortifications adds a sense of strength and authority to the scene. One cannot help but be captivated by the procession depicted in this artwork. From knights on horseback to mythical dragons parading alongside them, it truly transports us back in time. Edward Edwards skillfully recreates Hans Holbein's original watercolor painting from memory, ensuring that every intricate detail is preserved for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print at Yale Center for British Art's collection, we are reminded not only of the political significance behind this meeting but also its artistic value as a testament to human history.
