The Siege of Metz (litho)
8661242 The Siege of Metz (litho) by Melingue, Gaston (1840-1914); Private Collection; (add.info.: The Siege of Metz. With an army of 60, 000 men and a large train of artillery Charles hoped to avenge French aggressions at the Rhine by retaking Metz. Henry had, however, prepared for a great siege, and the imperial army arrived before the walls of the city, which were manned by a picked garrison under the Duke of Guise. A strong defence was maintained for over two months, during which the enemy were continually harassed by successful sorties. At last, worn down by sickness and loss of men, the imperial army raised the siege on 11 January 1553. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the intense historical moment of The Siege of Metz, a pivotal event in European history. Illustrated by Gaston Melingue, this print depicts the dramatic clash between two powerful forces - Charles' army seeking revenge for French aggressions at the Rhine and Henry's well-prepared defense led by the Duke of Guise.
The scene is filled with tension as the imperial army, numbering 60,000 men and armed with heavy artillery, faces off against the formidable walls of Metz manned by a skilled garrison. Despite enduring over two months of relentless siege and successful enemy sorties, Henry's forces managed to hold their ground.
As depicted in this detailed artwork from Hutchinson's History of Nations, the imperial army eventually succumbed to sickness and heavy casualties forcing them to lift the siege on January 11th, 1553. The image has been digitally enhanced to bring out its intricate details and historical significance.
This lithograph serves as a visual reminder of the bravery and strategic prowess displayed during one of Europe's most significant military conflicts. It transports viewers back in time to witness firsthand the courage and resilience exhibited by both sides during this historic battle for control over Metz.
