Philip VI of France, also known as Philip of Valois, was a prominent figure in French history. Born in 1293, he ascended to the throne as King of France and ruled from 1328 until his death in 1350. This chromolitho portrait captures the regal essence of Philip VI, showcasing his majestic presence as a king. The artist skillfully portrays him alongside other donor figures including a queen and prince, symbolizing his role as the head of a royal family. The painting "The English Passing The Somme" depicts an important event during Philip's reign - the Battle of Crecy in 1346. This battle marked a significant defeat for the French forces against their English counterparts. In contrast to this military triumph is the tragic fate that befell Jacob Van Ardevelt, depicted in Charles Grignion's artwork "Tragical Death of Jacob Van Ardevelt. " It showcases how even high-ranking individuals like Van Ardevelt could fall victim to violence during this tumultuous period. Another notable battle during Philip's reign was the Battle of Sluys in 1340, which is vividly portrayed by James William Edmund Doyle in his artwork titled "Battle of Sluys. " This naval conflict showcased both French and English naval prowess and had far-reaching implications for future conflicts between these two nations. Unfortunately, not all depictions are positive ones; "The celebrated Jacob Van Ardevelt cruelly murdered by the Populace at Ghent" illustrates how public sentiment turned against certain individuals who were perceived as enemies or threats to society. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout his rule, Philip VI left behind a lasting legacy. His leadership skills helped stabilize France during times of political turmoil and laid foundations for future monarchs to build upon. These various artworks provide glimpses into different aspects of his life - from being an esteemed king on one hand to witnessing tragedies unfold on the other.
