EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illuminated manuscript page, hailing from the Chateau de Chantilly in France, depicts a pivotal moment in the conquest of Gaul by the Roman army under the command of Julius Caesar. The year is 56 BC, and Caesar's troops are shown besieging a Breton city along the coastal region. The defenders of the city, depicted as fierce warriors on horseback, fiercely resist the Roman attack. The Romans, clad in armor and wielding shields and spears, press forward, determined to breach the city's walls. The sea in the background adds an element of strategic importance to the scene, as the Romans must contend with both land and sea defenses. This miniature, created during the 16th century, offers a vivid and intricate portrayal of the clash between the Roman Empire and the indomitable Celtic tribes of Gaul. The detailed illustration, filled with rich colors and intricate patterns, serves as a testament to the artistic skill and historical knowledge of the time.
