EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print depicts the pivotal Battle of Pas-de-Suze, which took place on September 9, 1629, and marked a significant victory for France over her Spanish and Austrian rivals. The battle, named after the Pas-de-Suze pass in the Alps, saw the French army, led by King Louis XIII and his capable military commander, Marshal Schomberg, confront the combined forces of Charles, Comte de Savoie, and the Spanish and Austrian armies. Charles de Savoie, a skilled military commander in his own right, had allied himself with the Spanish and Austrians in an attempt to expand his territories and challenge French dominance in the region. However, his ambitions were thwarted as the French army, bolstered by the arrival of reinforcements, managed to outmaneuver and outflank the enemy forces. The Battle of Pas-de-Suze was a turning point in the Franco-Spanish War and demonstrated the strength and determination of the French military under King Louis XIII. The victory allowed France to secure its borders and weaken the alliance between Savoie, Spain, and Austria. The eventual outcome of the war saw France emerge as the dominant power in Europe, shaping the political landscape for decades to come. This historical print captures the intensity and drama of the battlefield, with soldiers from both sides locked in fierce combat, cannons roaring in the background, and the ominous mountains of the Alps looming in the distance. The print serves as a testament to the courage and determination of the soldiers who fought in this significant engagement and the broader historical context of the Franco-Spanish War.
