EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - William Duke of Normandy's second set of messengers riding to Wido, Count Guy of Ponthieu. The envoys are depicted with great detail, carrying lances and shields adorned with their coat of arms, symbolizing their allegiance. In the border of the image, a man can be seen baiting a muzzled bear, adding an intriguing element to the scene. The artwork is inspired by the renowned Bayeux Tapestry which depicts the Norman Conquest in 1066. This handcoloured lithograph by Villain beautifully brings to life this significant event from medieval times. It showcases not only the fashion and costume prevalent during that era but also highlights elements of heraldry and weaponry. The illustration was created by Horace de Viel-Castel for his Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France (Collection of costumes, weapons and furniture to be used in the history of France). Published in 1829 by Treuttel & Wurtz, Bossange, it serves as a valuable resource for understanding ancient French history. This print from Fine Art Finder offers viewers an opportunity to delve into ancient history through its intricate details and vivid colors. It transports us back in time to witness one small yet crucial aspect of William Duke's conquest - his messengers embarking on a journey that would shape the course of European history forever.
