EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Norman ship from the 11th century, adorned with intricate details that transport us back in time. The ship's bow proudly displays a beautifully carved animal figurehead, exuding both power and elegance. Its striped sail catches the wind, propelling this vessel through the open waters. As we explore further, we notice the presence of oars and a church-like forecastle on the deck, adding to its grandeur and functionality. This ship truly embodies the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its era. The image draws inspiration from an engraving by Robert von Spalart depicting an Anglo-Saxon ship, highlighting similarities between these two historical vessels. Handcoloured lithography by Villain brings vibrant life to this scene, capturing every minute detail with precision. Horace de Viel-Castel's illustration from his Collection des costumes provides valuable insight into French history through costumes, weapons, and furniture used during that period. Treuttel & Wurtz published this collection in 1827. This print is not just a visual delight but also serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient history and medieval times. It allows us to appreciate the artistry involved in creating such remarkable ships while offering glimpses into past civilizations' daily lives. Bridgeman Images presents this extraordinary piece of artwork for enthusiasts who seek to immerse themselves in France's rich cultural heritage without leaving their homes.
