EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable historical moment - Francois I, the renowned French king, at the Battle of Marignano on 14th September 1515. Crafted on vellum by an anonymous French artist from the 16th century, this masterpiece is now housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image captures Francois I as a valiant knight and soldier amidst the chaos of battle during the Italian Wars. Mounted on his majestic charger, he charges forward with unwavering determination and bravery. His lance held high, ready to strike down any foe that dares to challenge him. The flag fluttering proudly behind him bears witness to his triumphs and victories throughout Northern Italy. With a Renaissance castle looming in the background, it serves as a reminder of his capture of Milan and his relentless pursuit for power and dominance. Yet beneath this regal facade lies evidence of war's toll - Francis appears wounded but undeterred. Clad in shining armor that reflects both strength and vulnerability, he embodies both medieval chivalry and renaissance sophistication. This extraordinary artwork transports us back in time to an era where kings were warriors leading their armies into battle. It encapsulates not only Francois I's legacy but also highlights the artistic prowess of its creator who skillfully captured this pivotal moment in history.
