The Surrender of Calais - A Glimpse into England's Historical Triumph
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the iconic engraving, "The Surrender of Calais" created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, immortalizes a significant event in England's history. Depicting a pivotal moment during the Hundred Years' War, this engraving captures the surrender of Calais to King Edward III in 1347. The scene is filled with tension and emotion as six prominent burghers kneel before the victorious English monarch, their faces etched with resignation and defeat. This powerful image serves as a testament to England's military prowess and strategic triumphs. Originally commissioned for David Hume's edition of "The History of England" published by R Bowyer in London in 1812, this engraving has become an enduring symbol of historical significance. It beautifully encapsulates the complex dynamics between nations during times of war and conquest. Through its intricate details and masterful composition, this print transports viewers back to a defining moment in medieval Europe. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of past conflicts but also how they have shaped our present world. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate such remarkable pieces from history that continue to inspire awe and fascination centuries later.
