EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the heroic and tragic moment when the knight Bayard, also known as Pierre Terrail, was fatally wounded by his old comrade, Charles, Duke of Bourbon. The scene depicts Bayard bravely covering the retreat of the French army of Francois I on April 29, 1524. Despite being mortally wounded by an arquebus ball the next day, Bayard's final words to the Connetable of Bourbon are a testament to his honor and loyalty.
In his last moments, Bayard showed compassion towards his former friend who had betrayed their king and country. His words echo with dignity and selflessness as he expresses mercy towards someone who has turned against their own prince and homeland. The engraving from "Les-Celebrites-Francaises" by Alfred des Essarts in 1862 beautifully captures this poignant moment in history.
Bayard's legacy lives on through this image, showcasing not only his bravery in battle but also his noble character and unwavering principles. As he dies surrounded by admirers in the camp of his adversaries, Bayard leaves behind a legacy of courage and integrity that continues to inspire generations to come.
