EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed 19th-century engraving captures the dramatic moment when Viking chief Rollon led an invasion of Paris aboard a drakkar on the Seine in 885. Rollon, who would later become the founder of the Duchy of Normandy, is depicted as a powerful and fearsome figure at the helm of his ship, leading his warriors into battle.
The colorful depiction of this historical event brings to life the chaos and violence of the Viking raids that ravaged Europe during the Middle Ages. The intricate details in the engraving showcase not only the barbaric nature of these attacks but also highlight the skill and craftsmanship of the artist who created this piece.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to a period when longships ruled the rivers and seas, carrying fierce warriors intent on conquest. The sight of Rollon's drakkar sailing towards Paris is both awe-inspiring and terrifying, reminding us of a time when war and conflict were constants in European history.
This print serves as a reminder of our shared past, where civilizations clashed and empires rose and fell. It is a testament to human resilience and determination in times of great turmoil, capturing a pivotal moment in history with vivid colors and striking imagery.
