EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Battle of Jerusalem in 1187, a significant event depicted in Le Roman de Godefroi de Bouillon. Created by the French School during the 14th century, this vellum artwork is now housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The Battle of Jerusalem was a momentous siege that took place from September 20 to October 2,1187. Balian of Ibelin ultimately surrendered the city to Saladin after its defense became untenable. During this period, citizens who desired to leave were required to pay a ransom for their freedom. The fall of Jerusalem marked the end of the first Kingdom of Jerusalem and prompted Europe's response with the launch of the Third Crusade in 1189. Intriguingly illuminated with vivid colors and intricate details, this medieval manuscript transports viewers back to an era filled with religious fervor and conflict. The image captures combat between Crusaders and Saracens around c. 1097, showcasing knights on horseback engaging in fierce battle while brandishing swords and shields adorned with coats-of-arms. This historical masterpiece not only serves as a visual representation but also symbolizes an intense clash between opposing forces fighting for control over one of history's most revered cities. It stands as a testament to both human resilience and religious devotion during times when holy wars shaped destinies.
