EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Anglo-French attack on Tunis in 1390, showcasing the historic expedition of French and English forces to a town located approximately 100 kilometers from Tunis. The Genoese had requested assistance, leading to the mobilization of a powerful fleet that set sail for Africa.
In this image, we see the imposing ships with their billowing sails as they navigate through the rough seas towards their destination. Shields are raised, armor glinting in the sunlight as flags flutter defiantly in the wind. The Anglo-French alliance is evident as they prepare to launch an assault on Tunis.
The expedition was not without its challenges, as piratical African corsairs sought to thwart their progress. However, undeterred by these adversities, the French and English soldiers pressed forward with determination and courage.
This historical moment captured in this print serves as a reminder of the strategic alliances forged between European powers during medieval times and highlights the bravery of those who ventured into unknown territories in pursuit of glory and conquest. It is a testament to human resilience and ambition that continues to inspire us today.
