EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative portrait, Jean Froissart (circa 1337-circa 1410), the renowned French chronicler and poet, gazes intently out from the frame. Froissart, whose works are considered invaluable sources for the history of the Hundred Years War, is depicted in an oval profile, his short, wavy hair framing a thoughtful, intelligent face. He wears a simple, round hat, the brim of which casts a subtle shadow over his brow. The muted colors and intricate details of the print bring Froissart's likeness to life, transporting us back to the 14th century. Froissart's impact on European history is immeasurable. As a chronicler, he documented the reigns of several French and English monarchs, including Edward III and Richard II, and his accounts of the Hundred Years War provide a vivid and compelling narrative of this tumultuous period. His works, which include the "Chroniques," "Les Blasons des Armes Illustres," and "Les Jolies Sciences," have been translated into numerous languages and continue to be studied by scholars and history enthusiasts alike. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in recording the history of his time. Froissart's keen observations and eloquent storytelling have left an indelible mark on the annals of history, ensuring that his legacy endures. The intricacies of the print itself serve as a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the power of the written word to transport us across the centuries.
