EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment of Charles Martel at the Battle of Poitiers in 732. The color lithograph, created by Job (pseudonym for Onfray de Breville) and part of a private collection, brings to life this significant event from the Middle Ages. In this illustration from Petite Histoire de France by Jacques Bainville, we witness Charles Martel leading his cavalry against the invading Moors. Mounted on horseback, Martel exudes strength and determination as he commands his troops on the battlefield. The French army stands united behind their fearless leader, ready to defend their land and faith. The battle itself was a crucial turning point in history as it marked a decisive victory for the Franks over the Umayyad Caliphate forces. This clash between Christianity and Islam shaped not only France's destiny but also had far-reaching consequences for Europe as a whole. Through this image, we are transported back to that fateful day when Charles Martel's strategic brilliance halted the advance of Muslim armies into Western Europe. It serves as a reminder of his remarkable leadership skills and unwavering commitment to protect his people. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can't help but feel inspired by Charles Martel's courage in defending his homeland against overwhelming odds. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is a testament to one man's indomitable spirit and his pivotal role in shaping history.
