EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of chaos and panic as the Assyrians desert their camp. Taken from the Book of Hours of Louis d Orleans, created in 1469 by Jean Colombe, this illuminated manuscript depicts a scene from medieval times that is both historical and intriguing. In the image, soldiers can be seen retreating hastily while tents are left abandoned. The atmosphere is filled with tension as horses gallop away, adding to the sense of urgency. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to each figure and conveying their fear through their expressions. The use of vellum as a medium adds depth and texture to the artwork, enhancing its visual impact. This particular print measures 225x155 cm and is housed at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness an event that shaped history. It serves as a reminder of the power dynamics at play during medieval warfare and highlights the vulnerability even within mighty armies like that of Assyria. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this moment for us to appreciate and reflect upon. Through this photo print, we can delve into our fascination with ancient civilizations while marveling at Colombe's artistic prowess.
