EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - King John at Poitiers. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the intensity and drama of this historic confrontation. In this scene, we witness King John amidst the chaos and uncertainty of battle. His regal presence is undeniable as he stands tall, commanding his troops with unwavering determination. The composition exudes power and strength, highlighting the significance of this historical event. The Battle of Poitiers was a turning point for King John's reign. Fought on September 19th, 1356 during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, it marked a significant victory for the English forces led by Edward, Prince of Wales (also known as "The Black Prince"). This triumph solidified England's dominance over France during that period. The engraving itself is a testament to both artistic skill and historical accuracy. With meticulous attention to detail, every aspect - from the armor-clad soldiers to their expressions filled with anticipation - transports us back in time. This particular print comes from a private collection but has been digitally cleaned to enhance its visual appeal while preserving its authenticity. It serves as a reminder of our rich past and invites us to reflect upon the bravery and sacrifices made by those who came before us. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have access to remarkable pieces like this one that bring history alive through artistry.
