EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the surrender of the English governor of Chateauneuf de Randon to Bertrand du Guesclin. The scene takes place on 13 July 1380, as the besieged city lays its keys at the feet of Du Guesclin on his deathbed. Legend has it that Du Guesclin met his demise after drinking fresh water from the pre de la Glauze fountain. The artwork, created by an unknown artist in the late 19th century, showcases intricate details and vibrant colors through chromolithography. It offers a glimpse into this pivotal event during the Hundred Years' War between England and France. The composition portrays a sense of defeat for the English forces, with their governor humbly presenting the keys to Chateauneuf de Randon's square. The atmosphere is filled with tension and melancholy as Du Guesclin lies on his deathbed, symbolizing both victory for France and loss for England. This historical piece not only highlights military conflict but also provides insight into medieval life and customs. Through careful examination, one can appreciate elements such as furniture and furnishings that reflect middle-age aesthetics. Preserved within a private collection, this print by Stefano Bianchetti serves as a reminder of past struggles while celebrating moments that shaped nations.
