EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in history - Francois I, the renowned French monarch, remaining steadfast in his saddle on the eve of the Battle of Marignan in September 1515. The artist's identity remains unknown, but their skillful rendering brings to life this pivotal event. As night falls and darkness envelops the scene, Francois I sits atop his majestic steed with unwavering determination. His regal presence exudes confidence and courage as he prepares for the impending clash. The horse beneath him stands strong and resolute, mirroring its rider's resolve. The Battle of Marignan was a defining conflict during the Italian Wars that ravaged Europe during this period. It marked an intense confrontation between France and Italy, with Francois I leading his troops against formidable opponents. This engraving captures not only a historical moment but also symbolizes the spirit of warfare and valor. The detailed depiction showcases elements such as soldiers clad in armor, mercenaries ready for combat, and flags fluttering proudly amidst a backdrop reminiscent of Lombardy's picturesque landscapes. It serves as a testament to both military strategy and Renaissance artistry. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully preserved this piece through time, allowing us to appreciate its significance today. As we gaze upon it now, we are transported back to that fateful night before battle when Francois I prepared himself mentally for what lay ahead - an encounter that would shape European history forever.
