EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, "The Battle of Marignano in 1515" which is depicted on the tomb of Francois I and Claude of France. Created by Bontemps and Delorme between 1548-52, this marble masterpiece can be found within the Basilique Saint-Denis in France. Intriguingly, this battle scene captures the momentous victory of Francis I as he captured Milan during the Italian Wars. The detailed low relief sculpture portrays knights engaged in fierce combat, wielding lances and pikes with great valor. The clash between these chivalrous warriors is brought to life through intricate bas-relief carvings that adorn the sarcophagus. As one gazes upon this artwork, they are transported back to an era where conflict was settled through might and bravery. The presence of cannons signifies a turning point in warfare tactics during the Middle Ages, adding another layer of historical significance to this composition. The grandeur and scale of this battle scene perfectly complement its resting place within the magnificent cathedral walls. It serves as a reminder not only of past conflicts but also as a testament to human resilience and determination.
