EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the intense and chaotic scene of the Sack of Rome in 1527, with Charles III, Duke of Bourbon at its center. The renowned Flemish artist Cornelis Boel masterfully depicts the French military leader on horseback, commanding his troops during this historic battle. Charles III was not only a skilled commander but also held prestigious titles such as Count of Montpensier and Dauphin of Auvergne. In this momentous event, he led the Imperial troops of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V into Rome, resulting in widespread destruction and pillaging. The engraving showcases the sheer power and authority exuded by Charles III as he charges forward amidst chaos. His determined expression reflects his unwavering commitment to victory. Surrounding him are soldiers on horseback, their weapons raised high as they engage in fierce combat. Tragically, this would be Charles III's final battle. Despite his valiant efforts, he met an untimely demise during the sack. This print serves as a poignant reminder of his bravery and sacrifice for both France and the Holy Roman Empire. Preserved within a private collection today, this engraving provides us with a glimpse into one of history's most tumultuous moments – an image that encapsulates both triumph and tragedy simultaneously.
