EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back to the 16th century, capturing a pivotal moment in history - the Entrance of Protestants into Lyon in 1562. Painted by an unknown artist, this fine art painting depicts a scene filled with strength, rebellion, and community. The image showcases a full-length view of Lyon's entrance, bustling with a crowded crowd marching forward. Towering above them is an imposing column adorned with arches and cupolas, symbolizing the city's rich history. In the background, we catch glimpses of people going about their daily lives in market squares and historical buildings. Amidst this vibrant setting are two animals - perhaps representing the diverse aspirations of those involved in this military parade. The presence of cannons and pikes hints at the intensity and determination driving these protesters as they challenge authority. At the forefront stands Baron Francois de Baumont des Adrets (1512-1587), leading his troops towards Lyon Castle. His actions would soon result in sacking the city - an event that left an indelible mark on Lyon's past. This print not only captures a significant moment but also serves as a testament to human resilience throughout history. It reminds us of our shared pasts and encourages us to reflect on how communities have come together to fight for their beliefs against all odds.
