This print showcases an intense battle scene from the 15th century, taken from "Le miroir historial" (Speculum Historiale) by Vincent de Beauvais. Translated into French by Jean de Vignay, this historical masterpiece takes us back to a time of war and violence. The miniature depicts the attack on a fortified town, with bloodshed and chaos filling every corner of the battlefield. The illumination captures the essence of combat strategy as soldiers engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat armed with lances and swords. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing the intricate coat of arms adorning knights' armor and banners fluttering in the wind. This medium age artwork transports us to a time when fortifications played a crucial role in warfare. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography brings this ancient manuscript to life, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance. The confrontation depicted here serves as a reminder of humanity's turbulent past while also highlighting our enduring fascination with medieval history. Displayed at Musee Conde in Chantilly, France, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the rich tapestry of fifteenth-century life.
