EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and drama of the Battle of Poitiers in 1356. The gravure, created by Henri-Louis Dupray, depicts a pivotal moment in history when King John II of France and his youngest son, Prince Philip, were captured by the English army. The image showcases the chaos and violence of medieval warfare as knights clash on the battlefield. The defeated French soldiers surrender to their English counterparts, while a young boy stands amidst the turmoil, symbolizing the loss and devastation brought upon by war. This poignant scene transports us back to the 14th century during the Hundred Years War between England and France. The engraving beautifully illustrates this significant event for British Battles publication in 1902. It serves as a reminder of how conflicts shaped nations and altered destinies during that era. With meticulous detail and skillful execution, Dupray's work brings this historical moment to life. The composition highlights not only military strategy but also human emotions such as fear, determination, and resilience. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded of both the horrors of war and its impact on individuals caught in its grip. It is a powerful testament to our shared history that continues to resonate with audiences today.
