EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the tumultuous period of French Religious Wars, specifically Paris during the League (La Ligue). The image captures a significant moment in history - the Procession of the League on 24th May 1590, departing from Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. As we delve into this engraving after a painting by J Brueghel (Breughel) the Younger, we are transported to a scene bustling with activity and tension. The procession showcases typical soldiers and civic guards armed with pikes and arquebuses, symbolizing both power and conflict. Intriguingly, this visual narrative sheds light on the deep-rooted religious divide that plagued France during this era. On one side stood Catholic forces loyal to Rome, while on the other were Protestant factions seeking civil liberties. This clash between Christianity's two major branches had far-reaching consequences for French society. The composition skillfully captures not only the military aspect but also highlights Notre Dame as an emblematic backdrop. It serves as a poignant reminder of how religion played an integral role in shaping political alliances and conflicts throughout history. This historical document from Universal Images Group (UIG) offers viewers a glimpse into an era marked by fervent religious zealotry and its impact on France's social fabric. As we reflect upon these events through this remarkable engraving, it becomes evident that understanding our past is crucial for comprehending our present realities.
