The Barques of the Northmen before Paris - A Glimpse into Viking Conquest
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by the French School in the 19th century, transports us back to a momentous event in history. The scene depicts an intense attack on Paris by the Norsemen, also known as Vikings, during the year 885 AD. The print showcases several barques (Viking longships) gracefully sailing along the Seine River towards Paris. These formidable vessels were not only swift but also carried fearsome warriors who struck fear into the hearts of their enemies. As they approach their target, tension and anticipation fill the air. The image captures a pivotal moment in French history when these audacious invaders challenged France's capital city. It serves as a reminder of how these Norsemen played a significant role in shaping Europe's medieval era through their relentless raids and conquests. This particular engraving was featured in "A Popular History of France" written by M Guizot and published around 1885. Its inclusion suggests that this event left an indelible mark on French culture and collective memory. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported to an era filled with bravery, conflict, and cultural exchange—a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with our past.
