The Battle of Rocroy - A Symbolic Salute to Victory
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph, Maurice Leloir immortalizes a poignant moment from the historic Battle of Rocroy. The scene depicts the Duc D Enghien, later known as Louis II de Bourbon-Condé and revered as Le Grand Condé, paying his respects to the fallen body of Le Comte De Fontaine. The artwork serves as an illustration for Gustave Toudouze's novel "Le Roy Soleil" published in 1908. It beautifully captures a pivotal event during France's Thirty Years War on 19 May 1643. With meticulous attention to detail, Leloir portrays the Duke standing amidst the battlefield, surrounded by soldiers and strewn weapons. His noble figure is shown saluting with solemnity and respect towards Le Comte De Fontaine’s lifeless form. This image encapsulates both victory and loss; it symbolizes not only triumph over their enemies but also pays homage to those who sacrificed their lives for King Louis XIV's cause. The battle marked a turning point in French military history, solidifying Louis XIV's reign as he ascended to become one of Europe's most powerful monarchs. Leloir’s masterful use of color brings vibrancy to this somber scene while capturing the essence of French culture and history. This print serves as a testament to bravery, honor, and sacrifice—a reminder that even in times of war, humanity can find moments of reverence
