EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Cressy" takes us back to the 19th century and immerses us in the dramatic Battle of Crecy during the Hundred Years War. The print, part of a private collection, showcases an English School's artistic rendition of this historic clash. As we gaze upon this artwork, our eyes are drawn to the battlefield where men clad in suits of armor brandish swords and shields with determination. The scene is filled with intensity as soldiers from both sides engage in combat amidst a backdrop of rolling hills and billowing clouds. The attention to detail in depicting traditional plate armor and armoured clothing is remarkable. Every mesh size on their protective gear seems meticulously crafted, highlighting the importance placed on defense during these times. Notably, this engraving also challenges gender norms by featuring female soldiers alongside their male counterparts. It offers a glimpse into the diverse makeup of combat troops during that era. The print not only captures a pivotal moment in history but also serves as a reminder of Europe's tumultuous past. It symbolizes the enduring spirit and resilience displayed by armies throughout time. With its rich historical significance and masterful artistry, "Cressy" transports us to an era defined by conflict while showcasing Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving fine art for future generations.
