EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, created by the European School in the 19th century, transports us back to a pivotal moment in history - the Crusader assault on Jerusalem. The image is part of a series inspired by Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered" which vividly depicts the heroic adventures and fictionalized accounts of knights during the First Crusade. The scene unfolds with great intensity as we witness an army of crusaders launching their attack on Jerusalem's formidable walls. Clad in intricate costumes, these brave knights courageously scale ladders while engaging in combat against defending soldiers. The atmosphere is charged with tension and anticipation as both sides fiercely clash for control over this holy land. This artwork not only serves as a visual spectacle but also holds educational value. It offers viewers a glimpse into medieval warfare strategies and weaponry used during that era.
