EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in the history of France - the defense of Metz. In 1553, Charles V, who was sick and aboard a litiere, had to leave the town of Metz as he could not reclaim it from the French. This historical event is depicted in "Histoire de France learned by image and direct observation" a book published in 1923. The illustration by Ferdinand Raffin showcases the dramatic scene with great detail and precision. It portrays Charles V being transported on his litiere while surrounded by his loyal soldiers. The atmosphere is tense as they retreat from Metz, symbolizing their inability to regain control over the city. This artwork serves as a visual representation of an important chapter in French history, highlighting both military strategy and political power struggles during that time period. The composition evokes a sense of admiration for Charles V's determination despite his illness, as well as sympathy for his failed attempt to recapture Metz. Stefano Bianchetti's print brings this historical moment back to life, allowing viewers to appreciate the artistry and significance behind Raffin's illustrations. It serves as a reminder of how images can enhance our understanding and appreciation of past events while also preserving them for future generations.
