EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph print, titled "Louis XI raised an army from the citizens of Paris" takes us back to the medieval era in France. Created by Job, a pseudonym for Onfray de Breville, Jacques, this artwork showcases the historical event where Louis XI rallied his troops from the people of Paris. The scene depicted is filled with energy and movement as citizens don their armor and gather together to defend their city. The artist's attention to detail brings out the authenticity of this momentous occasion. We can see towering walls surrounding them, symbolizing both protection and unity. The attire worn by these brave individuals reflects the fashion trends of that time period - a mix of traditional French costumes combined with practical military gear. This fusion creates a unique visual aesthetic that transports us directly into 15th-century France. As we delve into history through this artwork, it becomes evident how significant this event was for both Louis XI and his kingdom. By raising an army from ordinary citizens rather than relying solely on professional soldiers or nobility, he demonstrated his trust in his people's loyalty and determination. This lithograph print serves as a testament to not only Louis XI's leadership but also to the resilience and bravery exhibited by everyday Parisians during times of conflict. It encapsulates an important chapter in French history while reminding us of the power that lies within united communities standing up for what they believe in.
