Arrival Carnavalet Commanded Day Light Parma Protestant Raises Siege Tercios Wars
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a pivotal moment in French history during the Religious Wars, specifically the raising of the Paris siege by the Protestant army of Henry IV on September 3, 1590. The arrival of the Spanish Tercios, commanded by the Duke of Parma, had turned the tide in favor of the Catholic forces. The powerful image captures the intensity and drama of the battlefield, with soldiers from both sides clashing in the foreground, while the smoke from gunpowder and the chaos of war fill the air. Henry IV, dressed in armor, stands atop a horse, surveying the scene with determination and resolve. The arrival of the Spanish Tercios, represented by the well-disciplined ranks of soldiers in the background, had finally broken the Protestant siege of Paris. This historic print is part of the vast collection at Musée Carnavalet in Paris, offering a glimpse into France's rich and complex past. The use of color and natural daylight in this horizontal engraving adds depth and vibrancy, transporting viewers back to this significant moment in history.
