EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print depicts the pivotal moment of the Battle of Marignano, fought on September 13, 1515, during the Italian Wars, also known as the War of the League of Cambrai. The battle took place in Marignano, Italy, and saw the French army, led by King Francis I (1494-1547), suffer a decisive defeat at the hands of the combined forces of the Milanese and Swiss. The Italian Wars were a series of conflicts that raged across Italy from 1494 to 1559, involving various European powers vying for control of the Italian peninsula. The War of the League of Cambrai was instigated by the Holy League, a coalition of European states formed to challenge the French dominance in Italy. In the foreground of this print, Swiss pikemen are shown charging forward, their long pikes raised high, ready to engage the French cavalry. Behind them, Milanese infantry form a defensive line, while artillery pieces are positioned to provide support. In the distance, the French army, led by King Francis I on horseback, can be seen advancing towards the enemy lines. The Battle of Marignano was a turning point in the Italian Wars, marking the end of French dominance in Italy and the beginning of a new phase of the conflict. The defeat of the French army also marked a significant victory for the Swiss mercenaries, who would go on to become one of the most feared military forces in Europe. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the military tactics and technology of the 16th century, as well as the political and strategic dynamics of the Italian Wars. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve historical moments for future generations to study and learn from.
