EDITORS COMMENTS
Ms 659 f. 255 r. The Battle of Crecy in 1346,1477 (vellum) by Master of Mary of Burgundy captures the historic clash between England and France during the Hundred Years War. This stunning print, now available for all to admire, showcases the skill and artistry of Flemish illuminators from centuries past. In this remarkable depiction, we witness King Edward III's crushing victory over Philip VI of France on August 26th, 1346. The English forces, led by Edward the Black Prince himself, triumphed due to their superior longbow men who outmatched the French crossbowmen. The scene is filled with action and drama as soldiers engage in fierce combat wielding swords and lances. Banners flutter proudly amidst a chaotic battlefield strewn with fallen warriors. The wounded lie scattered across the landscape while medical aid is administered to those injured in battle. This manuscript serves as a valuable historical document chronicling not only a significant military encounter but also revealing insights into medieval weaponry and warfare tactics employed during that era. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' collaboration with the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of Holkham Estate, this piece can now be appreciated by art enthusiasts worldwide. It stands as a testament to human resilience in times of conflict while showcasing the enduring power of artistic expression.
