EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the Hundred Years War: The surrender of Calais in 1346. In this engraving from "L'histoire de France racontée à mes grandenfants" by François Guizot, we witness Queen Philippa de Hainaut (1314-1369), the Queen of Angeleterre, advocating for the bourgeois of Calais before her husband Edward III. Queen Philippa's intercession with King Edward III is depicted here as she pleads on behalf of the Burgesses of Calais. The image portrays a powerful scene where diplomacy and compassion take center stage amidst the chaos and brutality of war. The artist, Stefano Bianchetti, skillfully brings to life this historical event through his detailed engraving. We can see knights standing guard while prisoners kneel before their captors. The atmosphere is tense yet hopeful, as Queen Philippa uses her influence to negotiate for mercy and leniency towards these brave citizens. This artwork not only showcases an important episode in European history but also highlights the role women played during times of conflict. Queen Philippa's actions demonstrate her strength and determination to protect innocent lives even when faced with adversity. Overall, this print serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of war, empathy and humanity have the power to shape destinies and bring about positive change.
