EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the French Religious Wars of 1562-1598 - the Siege of Poitiers from July 24 to September 7, 1569. In this intense battle, Huguenots led by Gaspard de Coligny besieged the city, only to be met with fierce resistance from the defenders who utilized heavy artillery and cavalry to hold them off. The meadows were flooded as a strategic move to thwart the attackers.
The engraving by Jacques Tortorel and Jean-Jacques Perrissin, part of their series on the Huguenot Wars circa 1570, vividly depicts the chaos and violence of warfare during this tumultuous period in French history. The image is filled with intricate details showcasing soldiers armed with pikes, arquebuses, cannons, and other weapons as they clash in a desperate struggle for control.
This historical artwork not only highlights the military tactics employed during sieges but also serves as a reminder of the religious tensions that tore France apart during this time. It is a testament to the bravery and determination of both sides as they fought for their beliefs amidst bloodshed and destruction.
