EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Capture of Calais by the Duke of Guise on 9th January 1558. Taken by Pigot in the 19th century, this image transports us back to a time of intense conflict and bravery. In this scene, we witness the chaos and intensity of battle unfolding before our eyes. The fortified walls of Calais stand tall in the background, while knights wade through a river on their majestic horses. The cavalry charges forward with determination, ready to conquer their enemies. The storm clouds overhead add an ominous atmosphere to this historic event. It is clear that only men are involved in this fierce struggle for power and control over Calais. A large group of people can be seen engaged in combat, highlighting the scale and significance of this battle. As we examine every detail within this fine art painting done in a 17th-century style, it becomes evident that war has taken its toll on both man and horse alike. The harnesses worn by these valiant warriors serve as a reminder of their commitment to victory. This outdoor scene set against the backdrop of Nord Pas de Calais evokes emotions ranging from awe-inspiring courage to somber reflection on human history's turbulent nature. Claude Pelletier Pigot's masterful composition allows us to relive this historical moment with vivid clarity, reminding us never to forget those who fought bravely for France's past triumphs.
