EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Retreat of the Swiss at the Battle of Marignan. Painted by Jules Courvoisier in 1884, this color lithograph brings to life the chaos and intensity of warfare during the Italian Wars. The scene depicts an army in disarray, bloodied and battered from fierce combat. The soldiers, both dead and alive, lay strewn across a battlefield as a testament to their bravery and sacrifice. Amidst this grim tableau, one can sense an air of defiance among those who remain standing. The Swiss soldiers, known for their formidable fighting skills and unwavering loyalty, are shown retreating under intense pressure from opposing forces. Their armor glistens with battle scars while their swords hang heavy with exhaustion. Yet even in retreat, they maintain a stoic determination that is palpable. This image serves as a reminder of the brutal realities faced by armies throughout history. It also highlights the complexities and consequences of war - lives lost, territories gained or lost, alliances formed or broken. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, let us remember those who fought valiantly on both sides of this conflict. May it serve as a poignant reminder that behind every battle lies untold stories of courage and sacrifice.
