EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Peter the Hermit listening intently to Pope Urban II at the Council of Clermont. Created by an anonymous artist in the 1460s, this miniature from William of Tyre's Historia is a remarkable example of medieval illuminated art. The scene depicts Peter the Hermit, a key figure in the First Crusade, as he hangs on every word spoken by Pope Urban II. The pope's impassioned speech at the Council of Clermont urged Christians to take up arms and embark on a holy war against Muslim forces in Jerusalem. This call to action would ultimately lead to one of history's most dramatic and influential events - the Crusades. Rendered with delicate watercolors on parchment, this exquisite artwork showcases intricate details that bring this historical moment to life. The artist skillfully portrays Peter's rapt attention and deep contemplation while capturing Pope Urban II's commanding presence. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Bibliotheque de Geneve's collection, we are transported back to medieval France, where knights prepared for battle and manuscripts served as windows into past worlds. This image serves as a reminder of our rich history and how it continues to shape our present-day understanding of religion, warfare, and cultural exchange during the Middle Ages.
