EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the dramatic "Attack on the Fortifications of Pontevedra" engraving by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, was created as an illustration for Sir John Froissart's Chronicles of England, France, Spain etc. , published in 1839. The scene depicted takes us back to the Middle Ages when fortified structures played a crucial role in warfare. In this intense moment frozen in time, we witness a fierce assault on the fortifications surrounding Pontevedra. The attacker's determination is palpable as they make their way towards the fortress walls with weapons drawn and adrenaline pumping. The intricate details captured by the engraver transport us to another era: medieval ramparts towering above, an imposing alcazar guarding its secrets within, and sturdy fortresses standing tall against any threat. This image serves as a reminder of both the strategic importance and vulnerability of such strongholds during times of conflict. With its historical significance and artistic prowess, this print offers viewers a glimpse into Jean Froissart's epic chronicles while also serving as a compelling news item from centuries past. It encapsulates not only military tactics but also architectural marvels that have stood against time. Bridgeman Images' preservation and presentation of this remarkable piece allows art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty and immerse themselves in history once more.
