EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Siege of Milan in October 1524. The forces of Francis I of France are seen breaching the city walls after an intense period of besiegement. At this time, Milan faced not only the threat of invasion but also the devastating plague, which weakened its defenses and led to a swift surrender. The image showcases a landscape filled with artillery weapons and soldiers on horseback, highlighting the intensity and scale of warfare during this era. Men from different nationalities - Spanish, French, Italian - can be identified by their distinctive uniforms and roles as they come together for this significant battle. The historical context is crucial; it was part of a larger conflict known as the Italian Wars (1515-1529) between two powerful European monarchs: Charles V and Francis I. This particular event marked an important turning point in their struggle for dominance over Italy. Preserved by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, this print provides us with a glimpse into one chapter of Europe's tumultuous past. It serves as a reminder that even amidst war and disease, human determination prevails while showcasing both the destructive power unleashed upon cities like Milan and the resilience exhibited by those who fought within its walls.
