EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant moment in history - the Battle of Poitiers, 1356. From Froissart's Chronicle, this vellum artwork by the French School from the 15th century is an invaluable piece housed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The Battle of Poitiers was a defining clash during the Hundred Years War between England and France. Taking place on 19 September 1356 near Poitiers, it witnessed Edward, the Black Prince (son of King Edward III of England), triumph over Jean II of France. The English archers played a pivotal role in securing victory as their longbows prevailed against their opponents. In this intricate manuscript illustration, we witness the intensity and chaos that unfolded on that fateful day. The crossbows are drawn taut, arrows soaring through the air towards their targets. Pennants flutter proudly amidst armored soldiers engaged in combat. This image serves as a testament to both the skill and bravery displayed by those involved. The Battle of Poitiers marked another milestone for England's army as they defeated their French counterparts with strategic precision. It stands as a reminder not only of historical conflicts but also highlights how advancements in weaponry shaped warfare during this era. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork captured by Fine Art Finder from www. bridgemanimages. com, let us appreciate its historical significance and pay homage to those who fought valiantly on that battlefield centuries ago.
