EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Queen Philippa interceding for the Burghers of Calais in 1347" depicts a powerful moment during the Hundred Years War. Queen Philippa of Hainault, wife of Edward III and Queen Consort to England, is shown here using her influence to save the lives of the leaders of Calais. In this historical event, which took place during the English siege of Calais in 1347, Queen Philippa's compassion and diplomacy prevailed. She convinced her husband to spare the lives of these brave burghers who had sacrificed themselves for their city. The image showcases her regal presence as she kneels before King Edward III, pleading on behalf of these courageous men. The artist has masterfully captured both the tension and emotion in this scene through intricate details and delicate shading. The tinted drawing adds depth to the composition while maintaining an air of medieval authenticity. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst war and conflict, acts of mercy can prevail. Queen Philippa's intervention not only saved lives but also demonstrated her strength as a woman in a position of power during a time when women's voices were often silenced. Bridgeman Images has once again brought history to life with this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as sacrifice, royalty, and diplomacy while appreciating the artistic skill behind its creation.
