EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the Council of Clermont in 1095. In this powerful image, we see Peter the Hermit passionately preaching before Pope Urban II, urging for the initiation of the first crusade. The scene is brought to life through Ambroise Tardieu's meticulous drawing and engraving skills, showcased beautifully in this artwork from 1825. The Council of Clermont was a pivotal event that shaped medieval Europe and its relationship with religion. It was during this council that Pope Urban II called upon Christians to embark on a holy war against the Muslims in an effort to reclaim Jerusalem. The phrase "God wants it" became synonymous with this call to arms and served as a rallying cry for countless individuals who answered the pope's plea. Stefano Bianchetti's photograph of Tardieu's work allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic mastery behind it. Through intricate details and expressive figures, we can almost feel the fervor emanating from Peter as he addresses his audience. This image serves as a reminder of how faith has influenced major events throughout history and how art can immortalize those moments for generations to come. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and consider how they shape our actions today.
