EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 15th century, during the Burgundian Wars. It showcases a significant historical moment: King Edward IV of England landing at Calais. The miniature painting, created in 1524 by Philippe de Commynes, is a remarkable piece from his memoirs. The scene unfolds with great detail and precision. A majestic tall ship dominates the foreground, its sails billowing against the wind as it approaches the shores of Calais. Towering over the landscape is an ornate mast adorned with intricate carvings, symbolizing power and authority. As we delve deeper into this artwork, our eyes are drawn to a large group of people eagerly awaiting the king's arrival on land. Men and women dressed in historical clothing stand amidst lush green trees that dot the hillside. Their anticipation is palpable as they witness this pivotal moment in history. The artist's skillful use of calligraphy adds another layer of authenticity to this masterpiece. Western script elegantly frames the illustration, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. Stepping into Musee Thomas Dobree (Art Museum), one cannot help but be captivated by this vertical composition that transports us back centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of France's tumultuous past and highlights King Edward IV's significance during these turbulent times.
