EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Acre as it was when lost (A. D. 1291)", takes us on a visual journey back in time to the medieval city of Acre during the tumultuous era of the Crusades. Created by Marino Sanuto the Elder, this print offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history - the fall of Acre. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship transport us to this ancient city, which once served as the capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The fortifications and fortress depicted in this artwork remind us of the strategic importance that Acre held during these times. As we explore every corner of this map-like engraving, we can almost feel ourselves walking through its streets and witnessing daily life unfold within its walls. It is fascinating to see how Acre was occupied by various forces throughout history, with its fate ultimately sealed at the hands of Mameluks in 1291. This print not only serves as a historical document but also captures our imagination with its rich symbolism and storytelling. It reminds us that even though centuries have passed since then, these ancient cities continue to hold an allure for those who seek to understand our past. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this engraving allows us to appreciate both artistry and historical significance simultaneously – an exquisite testament to human creativity and resilience throughout time.
