EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Job, pseudonym for Onfray de Breville, Jacques (1858-1931), titled "Hundred Years War - La Grande Jacquerie (1358) in France" tells the story of a significant moment in French history. The image depicts a little girl symbolizing France, who is visibly frightened by the cries and chaos of the Parisian people during the peasants' revolt. In this powerful scene, a man threatens her with a raised fist while standing beside him is Jacques Bonhomme, known as Guillaume Caillet or Callet or Cale or Carle – the leader of the insurrection. This engraving beautifully captures both the violence and anxiety that permeated through this period. The artist's use of color adds depth to this 19th-century artwork, evoking emotions associated with fear and anguish. It transports viewers back to the 14th century when France was embroiled in conflict during the Hundred Years War. Through this image, Stefano Bianchetti skillfully portrays not only historical events but also explores themes such as childhood innocence amidst war-torn surroundings. The juxtaposition of youth and violence serves as a reminder of how wars impact even those who are most vulnerable. Overall, this engraving offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on one chapter from French history while contemplating universal themes like power dynamics, human suffering, and resilience.
