EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two Norman knights from the Bayeux Tapestry, a renowned historical artifact dating back to the 1070s. The wood engraving, created by Paul Lacroix in 1870, beautifully captures the essence of these medieval warriors. Mounted on powerful horses and adorned in chain mail armor, these soldiers were part of Duke William's army during the Norman Conquest. The image portrays their strength and determination as they ride into battle with shields held high. The monochrome effect adds a sense of timelessness and enhances the details of their attire and weaponry. It is fascinating to observe how horsemen played a crucial role in warfare during this period. Located in France, this scene represents an important chapter in history when William the Conqueror became King William I of England after his victory at Hastings. This print serves as a reminder of the significant impact that these knights had on shaping nations. Paul Lacroix's engraving skillfully brings together elements from both medieval times and Renaissance art styles. It is through such prints that we can appreciate not only historical events but also artistic interpretations that have endured over centuries.
