The artwork, now part of a private collection, depicts an important historical moment in France's history. The scene captures the fleet of William the Conqueror departing from Normandy, symbolizing his ambitious invasion of England. This pivotal event ultimately led to the famous Battle of Hastings and forever changed the course of both French and English history. Maignan's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical narrative to life, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the grandeur and significance of this momentous occasion. The artist's skillful rendering transports us back in time, evoking a sense of awe and wonder at the magnitude of William's undertaking. Commissioned as an illustration for Madame de Witt's Les Chroniqueurs de l'Histoire de France (Hachette, 1883), this engraving serves as a testament to French culture and its rich historical heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of France's military prowess but also its enduring cultural impact on Europe and beyond.
