EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of "The Taking of Calais" by Francis, 2nd Duke of Guise on January 9th, 1558. Painted by Francois Edouard Picot in oil on canvas, this masterpiece now resides at the Château de Versailles in France. In this scene, we witness the English losing control over Calais to the French forces. The city walls stand tall and imposing as an army led by Francis, known as "le balafre" or "the scarred" lays siege upon it. The intense battle is depicted with meticulous detail, showcasing knights on horseback charging towards their enemies. The portrait of Francis himself exudes power and determination as he leads his soldiers into victory. His presence commands attention amidst the chaos unfolding around him. The horses featured in this painting add a sense of liveliness and energy to the composition. They symbolize both strength and loyalty, serving as essential companions to these brave warriors during times of war. "The Taking of Calais" serves not only as a historical record but also as a testament to human resilience and triumph over adversity. It reminds us that even in moments when all seems lost, courage can lead to remarkable achievements. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal event that shaped European history forever.
