EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment in time, depicting "The Battle of Auray" from the renowned "Chroniques de Bretagne" by Alain Bouchard. Published in 1514, this woodcut artwork showcases the intense clash between John de Montford and Charles de Blois on September 29th, 1364. Intriguingly, this battle marked the turning point in The Breton War of Succession as John de Montford emerged victorious over Charles de Blois. As fate would have it, Blois tragically lost his life during this fierce encounter. This pivotal event ultimately led to John's ascension as Duke of Brittany. Immersed in the chaos and drama depicted within this image, one can almost hear the clashing swords and thundering hooves. The soldiers' armor glistens under sunlight while their horses charge fearlessly across the battlefield. Every detail meticulously captured by the French School artist transports us back to that tumultuous era. As a relic from Northern Renaissance artistry, this print not only serves as a visual feast for history enthusiasts but also sheds light on an important chapter in European aristocracy and warfare during The Hundred Years War. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, this remarkable piece stands testament to human resilience amidst conflict—a timeless reminder that even amid darkness, triumph can emerge
