EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of the "Death of Armand de Gontault, Baron de Biron" in vivid detail. Engraved by Jean Baptiste Morret in 1792, this coloured lithograph showcases the artistic prowess of Swebach, Jacques Francois Joseph who created it based on historical events. The image depicts a pivotal moment during the siege of Epernay in 1592 when Armand de Gontault met his tragic fate. Clad in formidable armor and a striking helmet, he valiantly fought as a foot soldier on the battlefield. However, destiny had other plans for him that day. In this poignant portrayal, we witness Baron de Biron struck down and mortally wounded. His shield lies discarded beside him while he clutches his chest with one hand and reaches out desperately with another. The pain etched on his face tells a story of bravery and sacrifice. The attention to detail is remarkable; every crease in his armor and every feather on his plume are meticulously captured by Morret's engraving technique. The artist has masterfully conveyed both the physical agony endured by de Biron and the emotional weight carried within this historic moment. This print from Fine Art Finder serves as a testament to an era long gone but not forgotten – the sixteenth century – where battles were fought with honor and lives were laid down for causes greater than oneself. It immortalizes Armand de Gontault's legacy as a marshal of France whose
