EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical moment frozen in time - the siege of Paris by the Normans in 885. Taken from "L Histoire de France" by Henri Martin, a renowned 19th-century historian, this engraving transports us back to an era filled with turmoil and conflict. The image captures the intensity of the battle as Viking longships approach the shores of Paris. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable, depicting every stroke of oars and ripple on the water's surface. The looming city walls stand tall against the invaders, symbolizing resilience and determination. As we delve into French history through this medium, it becomes evident that this event was not merely about war but also about cultural exchange. The Normans' arrival marked a significant turning point for France, leading to their eventual assimilation into French society. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully brings this scene to life through his masterful engravings. His work breathes vitality into each figure present on both sides of the conflict - warriors defending their homeland and Vikings seeking conquest. This print serves as a reminder of our rich past and how it has shaped our present-day world. It invites us to reflect upon the struggles faced by those who came before us while appreciating their contributions to our shared heritage.
