EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a pivotal moment in the Battle of Rosebecque, which took place on November 29, 1381, during the protracted 100 Years War between England and France. The conflict arose from a dispute over who should rightfully rule the Duchy of Flanders, a wealthy and strategically important region in modern-day Belgium. In this scene, the French forces, led by the Count of Flanders, are seen rallying to repel the rebel forces. The Count, dressed in ornate armor and brandishing a banner, stands atop his horse, inspiring his troops with a fiery determination. Behind him, French cavalry charge forward, their lances raised and ready to strike. In the foreground, a cannon is being prepared for firing, its roaring discharge sure to decimate the rebel ranks. The French standards, emblazoned with the fleur-de-lis, flutter proudly in the wind, a symbol of the French monarchy's power and authority. The rebels, though not depicted in this image, were a formidable force, led by a charismatic leader named William of Jülich. The Battle of Rosebecque was a hard-fought engagement, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. Ultimately, the French emerged victorious, securing their hold on Flanders for the time being. This print, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of chivalry, warfare, and the clash of powerful European forces. The intricate details of the armor, the horses' muscular forms, and the smoke rising from the cannon all serve to bring this historical moment to life, making it a must-have for any history enthusiast or collector of fine art.
