EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the bravery and resilience of Louis VI the Gros, king of the Franks. In this intense scene from the Battle of Brenneville in Normandy on April 20,1119, an English soldier has audaciously grabbed the bridle of Louis VI's horse and proclaimed "The king is caught!". However, rather than succumbing to fear or violence, Louis VI demonstrates his strategic prowess by refusing to be taken down like a chess king. Illustrated by Job (Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray and Breville) for the book "Les grands mots historiques du pays de France" in 1915, this artwork beautifully encapsulates the historical significance of this event. The artist skillfully portrays both tension and determination through their meticulous attention to detail. Louis VI's decision not to retaliate with force showcases his wisdom as a leader. Instead of resorting to violence against his captor, he chooses diplomacy over bloodshed. This act symbolizes his commitment to peace even amidst chaos and conflict. This powerful image serves as a reminder that true strength lies not only in physical might but also in one's ability to make wise decisions under pressure. It immortalizes an important episode from French history while highlighting timeless values such as courage and restraint.
