The Road to Jerusalem - A Glimpse into the First Crusade
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken from an illustration in Bibliotheque des Croisades by J-F Michaud in 1877, transports us back to a momentous chapter in history. The image depicts a scene from Book IV of the series, showcasing "The Siege of Jerusalem AD 1099-1103" and specifically focusing on "The Road to Jerusalem". As we gaze upon this lithograph created by Gustave Dore, our eyes are drawn to a group of knights and soldiers fervently praying before their imminent journey. Their faces reflect both determination and trepidation as they prepare themselves for battle. With shields held high and armor gleaming under the sun's rays, these crusaders advance towards their sacred destination. They march forward with unwavering faith, guided not only by their own strength but also protected by their guardian angels who hover above them. In this engraving filled with intricate details, we can almost feel the palpable fear that accompanies such an arduous undertaking. Yet it is precisely this fear that fuels their resolve as they press onward towards Jerusalem—a city whose significance resonates deeply within each crusader's heart. This remarkable artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the courage exhibited during those tumultuous times known as the Crusades. It encapsulates both the grandeur and peril faced by those who embarked on this holy mission—an enduring testament to human resilience and devotion.
