EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Assaut de la Roche Clermaud or Assault of the Roche-Clermaud" takes us back in time to a historical moment filled with action and intensity. The image, originally an illustration by Albert Robida for Francois Rabelais' renowned work Gargantua and Pantagruel, showcases a dramatic assault on the fortified castle of Roche-Clermaud. In this scene, we witness soldiers fiercely attacking the castle's defenses while cannons roar in the background. The towering belfry stands tall amidst the chaos, symbolizing both strength and vulnerability. As we delve into this piece of European literature brought to life through art, we are reminded of Rabelais' genius as a writer who skillfully crafted tales that captivated readers across centuries. Albert Robida's intricate illustration perfectly captures the essence of this historical event. His attention to detail transports us to 16th-century France, where military strategies were put to test against formidable fortifications like Roche-Clermaud. Through this photo print, we not only appreciate the artistic brilliance but also gain insight into the significance of physical health during times of war. It serves as a reminder that even in tumultuous periods, doctors and physicians played crucial roles in preserving lives amidst battles. Ken Welsh's Fine Art Finder presents us with yet another masterpiece that combines history, literature, warfare tactics, and artistic expression seamlessly within one frame.
