EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Bayard, the legendary Chevalier de Bayard, fearlessly defends a bridge across the Garigliano against an imposing Spanish Knight. The illustration is taken from "Bayard: The Good Knight Without Fear and Without Reproach" by Christopher Hare, published in 1911. In this vividly colored lithograph by Herbert Cole, we witness Bayard's unwavering determination as he valiantly fights to protect his land. Clad in gleaming armor and brandishing his sword with expertise, Bayard commands attention on horseback amidst the chaos of battle. His shield bears witness to countless clashes and serves as a testament to his indomitable spirit. The scene exudes intensity and drama as pikes clash and soldiers engage in combat all around them. Both riders display exceptional horsemanship skills while their loyal steeds gallop fiercely beneath them. It is a true spectacle of bravery and skill that transports us back to the 16th century. Through this image, we are reminded of the timeless values embodied by Bayard - honor, courage, and chivalry. His unwavering dedication to defending what is right resonates even today. This remarkable artwork not only celebrates an iconic figure but also invites us to reflect on our own capacity for bravery when faced with adversity. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this historic piece offers a glimpse into an era long past but still cherished for its tales of hero
