Philip VI of Valois, the King of France during the tumultuous period known as the Hundred Years War, was a figure who sought asylum and faced numerous battles. In 1346, he found himself seeking refuge at the Chateau de Broye, depicted in an illustration from 1896. The Battle of Crecy in France, also in 1346, is captured in an engraving showcasing the intensity and chaos of war. Queen Philippa's plea to spare lives during the conflict between Philip VI and King Henry III of England is immortalized in another engraving from 1347. This moment highlights both political negotiations and human compassion amidst warfare. A French artwork from around 1350 portrays Philip VI as a regal figure among donor figures including a king, queen, and prince. This depiction showcases his royal status despite facing challenges on multiple fronts. The English passing through Somme River during their campaign against Philip VI is illustrated in a painting from 1890 by an unknown artist. It captures the movement and determination of both sides involved. Tragedy struck with Jacob Van Ardevelt's death in 1773 - Charles Grignion depicts this event that may have been influenced by or related to Philip VI's reign. The Battle of Sluys fought in 1340 between England and France is portrayed twice: once by James William Edmund Doyle as an engraving capturing its intensity; then again as a historical scene painted by Doyle himself in1864. These depictions emphasize significant moments within this long-lasting conflict. Various artworks throughout history depict Philip VI himself - whether it be J Chapman's portrayal from1805 or another piece dating back to1801 - these images provide insight into how he was perceived during his time as King of France (1293-1350).
