EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and dramatic scene of "The Siege of the Castle of Mortagne, near Bordeaux, in 1377". Painted by an anonymous artist between 1470-1480, this masterpiece is now housed in the prestigious British Library collection. The image showcases a medieval battle during the Hundred Years War, with knights clad in armor engaging in fierce combat. At the center of attention are two powerful artillery cannons strategically placed to breach the castle walls. These imposing weapons symbolize technological advancements that revolutionized warfare during this period. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring life to every element within this illuminated manuscript. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of war but also in its depiction of key figures such as Owain Lawgoch (Owain of the Red Hand). He was a prominent Welsh commander who led a free company known as Grands Compagnies during these tumultuous times. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece, we are transported back to an era where battles were fought with valor and determination.
