EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Charles V, the Wise, who reigned as the King of France from 1364. During his father's captivity in England after the Battle of Poitiers in 1356, Charles served as a regent and displayed remarkable wisdom and leadership skills. Despite significant territorial losses to the English during the Hundred Years War, he successfully regained most of these territories for France. The image is a stunning copperplate engraving that beautifully captures Charles V's royal presence and charisma. His regal attire exudes power and authority while reflecting his status as a revered monarch. The intricate details of this print highlight not only the artist's skill but also emphasize Charles' significance in French history. Charles V's reign marked an important turning point for France as he implemented various administrative reforms that strengthened central authority and laid the foundation for future successes. His intelligence earned him the title "the Wise" which perfectly encapsulates his astute decision-making abilities. This print serves as a testament to Charles V's resilience and determination to protect French interests during one of its most challenging periods. It reminds us of his invaluable contributions towards reclaiming lost territory from England, solidifying his place among notable figures in French royalty
