EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Battle of Poitiers" painted by Charles Auguste Steuben in the 1830s. The artwork, measuring 12.5x16.7 cm, is housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Baron Charles de Steuben, a French artist from the 19th century, skillfully depicts this historical event. The painting portrays an intense battle scene that took place on October 25th, 732. It captures the moment when Charles Martel (also known as Charles the Hammer), a prominent politician and military leader from France's eighth century, led his army to victory against Muslim forces invading Europe. Steuben's use of color and light brings life to this significant clash between Christianity and Islam. The presence of crosses symbolizes Christian faith amidst the chaos of war while flags flutter proudly in the wind. Mounted on their horses, soldiers clad in military uniforms engage fiercely with their adversaries. This artwork not only serves as a testament to historical events but also highlights Steuben's artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this oil painting on pulp board, we are transported back to a time where political power struggles shaped European history. It reminds us of the bravery and determination exhibited by leaders like Charles Martel who defended their nations against external threats. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate both artistry and history intertwined within this remarkable piece.
