In the charming city of Caen, France, stands the magnificent Saint Etienne Church and Abbey. As you wander through its ancient walls, you can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at the history that has unfolded within these sacred grounds. Just a stone's throw away from this architectural marvel lies La Batterie Des Hommes Sans Peur. This intriguing site holds secrets of bravery and courage, reminding us of the indomitable spirit that resides in every man. Delving deeper into history, an engraving captures our attention - "Les hommes firent des idoles. " It serves as a poignant reminder of mankind's inclination to create idols and worship them throughout time. Rambling Sketches take us on a visual journey through Caen. The intricate engravings depict scenes filled with life and character, showcasing the vibrant tapestry woven by its inhabitants. Traveling further back in time, we encounter an engraving titled "Les premiers combats reguliers entre les hommes à l'âge de la pierre. " Here we witness humanity's earliest battles during the Stone Age at the fortified camp of Furfooz – a testament to our primal instincts for survival. Artistic genius comes alive in "Study for Bathers at Asnieres, " painted in 1883-4. This masterpiece by renowned artist Georges Seurat immortalizes men enjoying leisurely moments by the riverbank – capturing their essence with meticulous brushstrokes. Gaston de Foix, Duke of Nemours appears before us adorned in his suit of armor from 1489-1512. A symbol of chivalry and nobility, he represents an era where honor was held dear above all else. "Hommes aux longues oreilles" intrigues with its enigmatic title. An engraved portrayal leaves room for interpretation – are they men with elongated ears or perhaps something more symbolic.
