EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning miniature painting is an illustration from the "Chroniques" or "Chronicles" by the renowned 15th century French author, Jean Froissart. The scene depicts the pivotal Battle of Sluys, which took place in the waters of Sluys Bay in 1340. This engagement marked the beginning of the Hundred Years War between England and France. The English and Flemish forces, led by King Edward III of England, are seen triumphantly pursuing the retreating French fleet in the foreground. The French, who were attempting to invade England, were decisively defeated in this battle, marking a significant turning point in the conflict. The painting is a prime example of Gothic art, characterized by its intricate details, rich colors, and ornate decoration. The artist's skillful use of perspective and attention to detail bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer back to the medieval era. This illustration is housed in the National Library of France in Paris, and is a testament to the historical significance and artistic merit of Froissart's work. The Battle of Sluys was a defining moment in European history, and this painting offers a unique and captivating glimpse into the past.
