EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from history - Norse Boats besieging Paris. Taken from the book "L Histoire de France racontee a mes petits-enfants" by Francois Guizot, this engraving beautifully depicts the intense siege of Paris by Viking warriors. The image showcases several longships, also known as longboats or barques normandes, sailing along the River Seine towards the city. These fearsome vessels were adorned with intricate dragon figureheads, symbolizing their strength and ferocity in battle. The Vikings themselves can be seen on board, ready for attack with their weapons at hand. The atmosphere is filled with tension as these raiders approach Paris, seeking to invade and conquer. The detailed illustration brings to life the chaos and intensity of this historical event. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and resilience displayed by both sides during such conflicts. Published in 1879 by Hachette, this engraving by Alphonse Marie de Neuville offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in French history. Preserved within private collections today, it continues to captivate viewers with its portrayal of Nordic warriors embarking on their quest for conquest. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill behind its creation but also provides insight into an era defined by invasions and raids that shaped Europe's history forever.
