EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the epic battle of Roncesvalles in 778 A. D. , which forms the basis of the renowned Chanson de Roland. At the forefront stands Roland, Charlemagne's beloved nephew and leader of his twelve paladins, fearlessly charging into combat alongside other Frankish forces. The illumination from an edition of the Grandes Chroniques de France, printed by Antoine Verard in 1493, brings this medieval tale to life. The image captures the intensity and bravery of these warriors as they clash with their adversaries amidst the picturesque Pyrenees landscape. Clad in armor and armed with lances and weapons, they valiantly fight against Basque opponents who fiercely defend their territory. The scene is richly detailed with intricate borders adorned with ornamental motifs that reflect the artistic style of that era. Roland himself is portrayed as a heroic figure on horseback, bearing a standard proudly displaying fleur-de-lis symbols. His presence exudes strength and determination while symbolizing loyalty to Charlemagne's cause. This historical masterpiece serves as a testament to both literature and artistry from centuries past. It transports us back to an age where knights fought for honor and glory on vast battlefields like this one at Roncesvalles.
