EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Tours, also known as the Battle of Poitiers, is considered one of the most significant events in European history. This print depicts the decisive moment of the battle, which took place on October 10, 732, near the city of Tours in France. The battle was fought between the Frankish army, led by Charles Martel, and an invading army of Saracens, led by Abd er Rahman and Abdillah. Charles Martel, a Frankish nobleman and military commander, was a pivotal figure in European history. He is best known for his victory at the Battle of Tours, which is regarded as the turning point of the Muslim conquests in Europe. The Saracens, who had been advancing northward from Spain, were a formidable force, with a large army and superior cavalry. The battle began with the Saracens launching a surprise attack on the Frankish army. Despite being initially taken aback, Charles Martel rallied his troops and led a counterattack. The battle raged for several hours, with both sides suffering heavy losses. However, the Saracens, who were losing ground, began to retreat. The print captures the moment when the tide of the battle had turned in favor of the Franks. The Saracens, who had been advancing confidently, are shown in disarray, with their banners falling and their horses rearing up in fear. The Franks, on the other hand, are shown charging forward, their shields raised high and their swords drawn. The Battle of Tours is considered a decisive victory for Europe, as it halted the Muslim advance into the continent. The battle is still commemorated in France as a symbol of national unity and a reminder of the country's rich history. The print serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of Charles Martel and the Frankish army, who repulsed the Saracens and secured Europe's future.
