This exquisite miniature painting, titled "Picture of the Chroniques by Jean Froissart: The Battle of Maupertuis, or Poitiers," is a captivating representation of one of the most significant battles in medieval European history. Created in the 15th century in Bruges, this Flemish art masterpiece is now housed in the National Library of France in Paris. The painting depicts the Battle of Maupertuis, also known as the Battle of Poitiers, which took place on September 19, 1356. The battle saw the English forces, led by Edward, the Black Prince, defeating the French army under King John II, also known as John the Good. The outcome of this battle marked a turning point in the Hundred Years' War, shifting the momentum in favor of the English.
