EDITORS COMMENTS
The Last Stand by John II France at the Battle of Poitiers captures a pivotal moment in history, immortalized through this powerful illustration. Published in 1910, it showcases the talent of Richard Caton Woodville II and depicts the intense clash between England and France during the Hundred Years War. In this scene, we witness King John II of France leading his troops into battle with unwavering determination. Clad in majestic armor and wielding a spear, he stands as a symbol of courage amidst chaos. The battlefield is alive with action as cavalry charges forward and weapons clash. The significance of this event cannot be overstated. The Battle of Poitiers took place on September 19,1356 near Poitiers, marking a critical turning point in the war. It was here that John II faced off against Edward, Prince of Wales (also known as "the Black Prince"), resulting in an epic confrontation that would shape European history for years to come. Woodville's attention to detail brings every element to life – from the regalia worn by both sides to the intensity etched on their faces. This print serves as a testament to not only artistic skill but also historical documentation. As we gaze upon 'The Last Stand, ' we are transported back in time; witnessing bravery and sacrifice on an epic scale. It reminds us that even amid conflict and turmoil, humanity has always found strength within itself.
