EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating oil on canvas print titled "William, Duke of Aquitaine, converted by St. Bernard" transports us to a significant moment in history. Painted by Gaspar de Crayer, this masterpiece showcases the powerful narrative of Guillaume d'Aquitaine's conversion under the guidance of Saint Bernard. In this scene, we witness the profound encounter between William X, Duke of Aquitaine (1099-1137), and Saint Bernard (1090-1153). The artist skillfully captures the intensity and emotion as St. Bernard imparts his wisdom upon the duke. Both figures are depicted with great detail and realism, emphasizing their importance within this historical event. Surrounded by an army of crusaders and curious spectators alike, William stands atop his majestic horse while taking in every word from St. Bernard. The steps leading up to them symbolize a transformative journey towards spiritual enlightenment. This artwork not only highlights religious conversion but also reflects the fervor surrounding the Crusades during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how influential leaders like William X were swayed by charismatic figures such as St. Bernard. Preserved at Musee Bonnat in Bayonne, France, this painting continues to captivate viewers with its rich colors and intricate details. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment that shaped both individuals' lives forever.
