EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the "Entry of the Bourguignons to Paris, May 1418" as depicted in a medieval manuscript. The focal point of the image is a distinguished man on a majestic white horse, adorned with an embroidered cloth bearing the initial B for Bourguignon. Clad in a suit of armor, he represents power and authority. The scene takes place at one of Paris' grand city gates, where the walled town stands as a symbol of protection and strength. As this knightly figure rides through the entrance, accompanied by his fellow soldiers on horseback, it becomes evident that war is imminent. The atmosphere is charged with tension and anticipation. This artwork transports us back to France in the 15th century, during a time when conflicts between factions were prevalent. It offers us insight into medieval warfare strategies and showcases how horses played an integral role in battle. The artist's attention to detail brings life to every element within this composition – from the intricate armor worn by each soldier to the vibrant colors used throughout. This historical piece serves as both an educational tool and a visual feast for art enthusiasts. Displayed proudly at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris today, this print allows us to appreciate Martial de Auvergne's skillful interpretation of this significant event from centuries ago.
