EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Taking of Tours by Philippe Auguste, the King of France in 1202. The image showcases a beautifully illuminated manuscript from the 14th century, found in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The scene depicted is one of medieval warfare and conquest, with a fortified town surrounded by towering walls and ramparts. On horseback, Philippe Auguste leads his cavalry towards victory as they siege and capture the city. The knightly portrait of this revered king exudes power and determination. Amidst the chaos of battle, we see soldiers on ladders scaling the walls while others engage in combat on horseback. The magnificent cathedral stands tall amidst it all, witnessing this pivotal moment in history. The presence of horses throughout the artwork adds an element of strength and vitality to this dramatic scene. Their wild energy mirrors that of their riders as they charge forward fearlessly into battle. Symbolism also plays a significant role in this piece; notably, we can spot fleur de lys motifs adorning flags and shields—a symbol associated with French royalty. This print not only offers us a glimpse into medieval warfare but also serves as a testament to human resilience and ambition for power. It reminds us how historical events shape our present reality while showcasing both artistic mastery and historical significance within its intricate details.
