The Attack of the Pel, 1300 - A Glimpse into Medieval Warfare
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time from an engraving by W. Maddocks, featured in Samuel Rush Meyrick's renowned work "Ancient Armour" published in 1824. The image transports us back to the year 1300, immersing us in the world of medieval warfare. In this scene, we witness a soldier fully clad in armor engaging in intense practice and training. With sword raised high above his head, he strikes with precision and determination. His chain mail glistens under the sunlight as he skillfully maneuvers through each strike. The soldier's focus is unwavering as he attacks a wooden target hanging from a sturdy tree branch. This exercise not only hones his striking abilities but also tests the resilience of his armor and shield against powerful blows. The intricate details captured by Maddocks' engraving bring to life every element of this historical moment - from the soldier's facial expression filled with concentration to the texture of his chainmail and shield. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded of the dedication and discipline required for combat during that era. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability when faced with adversity. This print is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately today but made accessible through Bridgeman Images. It allows us to appreciate both artistic mastery and historical significance while offering an intriguing glimpse into medieval warfare
