EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Battle of Hastings. In this intense scene, Anglo-Saxon soldiers find themselves surrounded on a hillock by their Norman adversaries. With lance, battleaxe, and shield in hand, they valiantly defend themselves against the onslaught of their foes. The ground beneath them is littered with fallen Norman soldiers who have met their demise at the hands of these determined warriors. The image draws inspiration from the Bayeux Tapestry, an iconic depiction of the Norman Conquest in 1066. Handcoloured lithograph artistically recreated by Villain after an illustration by Horace de Viel-Castel from his Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir a l'histoire de la France (Collection of costumes, weapons and furniture to be used in the history of France), it showcases both historical accuracy and artistic finesse. As we delve into this snapshot from ancient history, we are transported back to a time when battles were fought with bravery and skill. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by our ancestors and highlights the significance of events like the Battle of Hastings in shaping nations. This print not only offers us insight into military tactics but also provides us with glimpses into medieval fashion and costume. It stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as a visual representation of an era long gone yet forever imprinted upon our collective memory.
