EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a pivotal moment in history - the thunderstorm at Chartres in 1360 that encouraged Edward III to make the Peace of Bretigny. In the midst of the storm, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling overhead, we see Edward III kneeling in prayer, seeking guidance from a higher power. The image is filled with symbolism and emotion, as the elements rage around him while he makes a decision that will shape the course of events for years to come.
The historical significance of this moment cannot be understated. The Peace of Bretigny marked a turning point in the Hundred Years' War between England and France, bringing an end to hostilities and paving the way for a period of relative peace. Edward's decision to seek peace rather than continue fighting speaks to his belief in diplomacy and his desire to avoid further bloodshed.
As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the role that faith and belief played in shaping historical events. The storm serves as a dramatic backdrop for Edward's momentous decision, highlighting both the turmoil of war and the hope for reconciliation. This print is not just a snapshot of one event; it is a window into an era defined by conflict, religion, and ultimately, the pursuit of peace.
