EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Charles VII, the valiant King of France, mounted on his majestic horse and adorned in full armor. Created by the talented artist Gautier during the late 19th century, this artwork vividly captures a significant moment from the 15th century. Charles VII's reign marked a pivotal period for France as he successfully reclaimed vast territories from English control during the Hundred Years War. With exceptional military prowess and strategic brilliance, he led his soldiers to recapture all of France except for Calais. The print beautifully portrays Charles VII as a formidable monarch, exuding power and authority. His golden suit of armor gleams under the sunlight while his regal attire reflects his royal lineage. The king's helmet conceals his face but does not diminish his commanding presence. Surrounded by loyal knights and armed soldiers, Charles VII symbolizes strength and resilience in times of conflict. The archer and crossbowman depicted alongside him represent different facets of warfare employed during that era. Through intricate engravings and vibrant colors, this historical artwork transports us back to an age when kings ruled with iron fists amidst tumultuous battles. It serves as a testament to Charles VII's indomitable spirit and unwavering determination to restore French sovereignty. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the bravery exhibited by both man and beast in their pursuit of victory on medieval battlefields. This print is not only an artistic masterpiece but also a window into a defining chapter in French history – one that shaped the nation for centuries to come.
