EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as King William I, also known as William the Conqueror, reviews his army upon his arrival in England in 1066. The wood engraving, created by Alphonse de Neuville in the 19th century, beautifully depicts the equestrian king surrounded by his loyal soldiers. Mounted on a majestic horse and adorned with royal regalia, King William I exudes power and authority. His shield proudly displays his heraldry while chain mail armor protects him from any potential threats. As he surveys his troops lined up along the beach of England, one can sense the anticipation and determination among these men who are about to embark on an extraordinary conquest. The image not only showcases the military might of King William's army but also highlights their unique mode of transportation - horses. These noble creatures played a crucial role in medieval warfare and were essential for swift movement across various terrains. The composition evokes a sense of grandeur and adventure as it transports us back to this pivotal moment when history was about to be rewritten. It serves as a reminder of King William I's audacity and ambition that led him to conquer England and forever alter its course. This remarkable piece from The Granger Collection is not just an artistic representation; it is an invitation to delve into the past and witness firsthand one of history's most iconic figures leading his troops towards destiny.
