EDITORS COMMENTS
The fleet of Jean Ango, led by the Viscount of Dieppe, stands as a formidable blockade against the looming threat to Tagus and Lisbon. This print captures a pivotal moment in history when France's naval power clashed with Portugal's defenses during the 16th century. In this vivid illustration from Francois Ier: Le Roi Chevalier by George G. Toudouze, we witness the might and grandeur of French battleships dominating the waters. The colorful lithograph by Albert Robida transports us back in time, showcasing an array of warships and boats strategically positioned to halt any enemy advances. Jean Ango, renowned for his ship-owning prowess, played a crucial role in providing Francis I with these impressive vessels. As tensions escalated between France and Portugal, this fleet became an imposing force that symbolized revenge attacks and French dominance on the seas. The image not only showcases military strength but also highlights the bustling cityscape along the Tagus River. It serves as a reminder that behind every naval engagement lies cities filled with civilians going about their daily lives amidst turbulent times. This historic photograph print is a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It allows us to appreciate the intricate details of each vessel while immersing ourselves in an era defined by maritime warfare and political maneuverings.
