EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Hundred Years War. Titled "La prise du Chateau de Grand Fougeray by Bertrand Du Guesclin" it depicts an intense scene from 1356, when the Englishmen besieged Rennes. In a daring move, Bertrand Du Guesclin, a renowned military leader of his time, disguised himself as a woodcutter alongside two loyal companions. In this image, we witness the fearless trio wielding their axes to slaughter the soldiers defending the castle of Fougeray. The determination etched on their faces is palpable as they fight against all odds to secure victory for their side. This engraving was featured in "PATRIE" part of Lucien Huard's comprehensive six-volume work titled "DESCRIPTION PECTURESSE DE LA FRANCE EN 6 VOLUES". The end 19th-century French School artwork offers us a glimpse into this tumultuous period marked by territorial disputes and power struggles between England and France. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captured this historical moment with precision and depth. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the bravery and resourcefulness displayed by Du Guesclin and his comrades-in-arms. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during war and pays homage to those who fought valiantly for their cause.
