EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures a pivotal moment during the Hundred Years War between France and England, specifically during the reign of Charles VII (1403-1461). Kneeling fervently in prayer, the French king is depicted in the image, imploring God for salvation and deliverance from the English forces that had long besieged his kingdom. The scene, however, is not one of solemn reverence but rather one of mockery and derision. Surrounding Charles VII are a group of English soldiers, their faces twisted in laughter as they point and jeer at the French monarch. The year is circa 1428, and the English, under the command of the formidable King Henry V, had recently claimed victory in the Battle of Agincourt, a decisive engagement that left France reeling. The English soldiers' audacity to mock the French king during his most vulnerable moment speaks to the tense and volatile nature of the conflict between the two nations. Religion played a significant role in this protracted war, with both sides invoking divine intervention to bolster their cause. Despite the apparent levity of the scene, the print serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the complex interplay of power, faith, and national pride that defined the Hundred Years War. The image, with its intricate details and rich historical context, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of conflict, intrigue, and unyielding determination.
