EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in French history - the tragic death of Robert I, King of the Franks. Crowned in 922, Robert I was a powerful ruler who faced opposition from Charles III. In this scene, we witness his demise at the hands of one of Charles III's soldiers during a fierce battle. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and violence of the battlefield. The engraving showcases a horseman clad in armor, representing Robert I as he valiantly fights for his kingdom. The clash between these two forces is evident through their determined expressions and aggressive postures. The inclusion of horses adds an element of movement and chaos to the composition. Racehorses, ponies, shire horses, and stallions gallop alongside their human counterparts, emphasizing that this conflict affects not only people but also animals caught up in the turmoil. Through this artwork, we are transported back to medieval France - a time marked by political struggles and bloodshed. It serves as a poignant reminder of how power can be both coveted and contested within royal circles. This print is part of "Histoire de France populaire" by Henri Martin - an esteemed historical account that brings to life key events from French history. Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its value as both art and historical documentation. Overall, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in French history while showcasing Stefano Bianchetti's artistic talent for capturing dramatic moments on paper.
