EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Killing of Etienne Marcel, provost of the merchants of Paris" takes us back to a pivotal moment in French history during the 14th century. Created by Jean Maillard in the 19th century, this print depicts a violent scene that unfolded in Paris in July 1358. Etienne Marcel, the provost of the merchants of Paris, finds himself at odds with King John II as he supports Charles the Bad's claim to the French throne. In this image from Histoire de France by M Colart, we witness Marcel's ultimate fate as he is slain amidst a fierce battle. The intensity and chaos are palpable as fighters clash and confront each other on an ancient street. The artist has meticulously captured every detail, showcasing his skill and attention to historical accuracy. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate not only Maillard's artistry but also gain insight into this significant period in French history. Marcel's assassination serves as a reminder of political intrigue and power struggles that characterized medieval Europe. It highlights how individuals like him were willing to fight for their beliefs even if it meant facing grave consequences. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to late 14th-century France—a time when conflict was rampant and allegiances were tested. It stands as a testament to both human resilience and our never-ending fascination with history.
