EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Paris besieged by the Normans, 885" takes us back to a pivotal moment in French history. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the intensity and drama of the Norman invasion on Paris. The image depicts a chaotic scene as the Normans lay siege to the city. The towering walls of Paris are under attack from all sides, with arrows flying through the air and soldiers engaged in fierce combat. The artist skillfully portrays the desperation and determination of both sides involved in this historic conflict. Commissioned for Thomas Wright's book "The History of France" published around 1870, this engraving serves as a visual representation of one of France's most significant historical events. Through its digitally cleaned image, we can appreciate every intricate detail that brings this momentous event to life. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded not only of France's rich history but also its resilience in times of adversity. It is a testament to how past struggles have shaped and defined present-day French culture. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts and Fine Art Finder's platform, we can now admire and reflect upon this powerful depiction that encapsulates both triumphs and tribulations from centuries ago.
