EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "Isaac, Emperor of Cyprus, begging for the release of his daughter" depicts a powerful historical moment. Created by an English School artist in the 20th century, this print showcases a scene from the Harmsworth History of the World edition around 1910. In this dramatic illustration, Isaac, the Emperor of Cyprus, is shown on his knees pleading for mercy and freedom for his beloved daughter. The image portrays a coastline with crashing waves and stormy skies as a backdrop to emphasize the urgency and desperation felt by Isaac. The story behind this artwork revolves around Richard Coeur de Lion's crusade against Cyprus. After being wrecked during a storm near Cyprus' shores, Richard's followers plundered and captured Isaac along with his daughter. In order to punish him for resisting their invasion, Richard ordered that Isaac be cast into prison while reducing him to humble submission. This poignant portrayal captures both the emotional turmoil faced by Isaac as he begs for his daughter's release and highlights the power dynamics between conquerors and captives during medieval times. The coastal scenery adds depth to this historical narrative while reminding viewers of the maritime nature of these events. Overall, this lithograph serves as an evocative reminder of history's complexities and offers insight into one man's struggle to protect those he holds dear amidst political upheaval.
