EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment - the departure of St. Louis (1214-70) from Aigues-Mortes. Illustrated by Joseph Michaud and engraved by Paul Jonnard-Pacel in 1877, this image is a testament to their artistic prowess. Gustave Dore's masterful touch brings life to this scene, depicting the king leaving on his crusade. The composition showcases the grandeur of the occasion as St. Louis stands tall on his boat, surrounded by an impressive fleet of sailing ships ready for adventure. The knightly figures accompanying him symbolize bravery and honor, while angels hover above them with swords in hand, signifying their divine protection during this holy war. A sense of anticipation fills the air as they set sail into uncharted waters towards distant lands. The sea stretches out before them, reflecting both excitement and uncertainty that lie ahead on their journey. Located in Gard, Languedoc region of France, Aigues-Mortes serves as a backdrop for this historic departure. Its medieval walls provide a striking contrast against the vastness of the sea. This print not only captures an important moment in history but also evokes emotions of courage and determination that resonate even today. It reminds us of our human capacity for exploration and faith-driven endeavors beyond our comfort zones – qualities that continue to shape our world centuries later.
