EDITORS COMMENTS
Snowball Battle in Romorantin (France) captures a historic moment when King Francois I, the renowned monarch of France from 1494 to 1547, found himself wounded during an assault on Saint Pol residence. This illustration, created in 1909 by Albert de Robida, brings to life the thrilling winter game that unfolded on January 6,1521. In this scene, we witness the chaos and excitement as snowballs fly through the air amidst a picturesque snowy landscape. The king himself is depicted bravely leading his troops into battle but unfortunately falling victim to an unexpected blow. It serves as a reminder that even rulers are not immune to accidents during moments of leisure. Robida's attention to detail transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the laughter and camaraderie shared among participants engaging in this playful winter tradition. The image perfectly encapsulates both the joyous spirit of Christmas festivities and the competitive nature of games played on icy terrain. This particular print is part of a private collection and showcases Robida's exceptional talent for capturing historical events with artistic flair. As we admire this artwork today, it serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and our desire to preserve these significant moments for future generations.
