EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the election of Godefroy de Bouillon as admitted to the Holy Sepulcre during the First Crusade. Painted by Guillaume de Tyr, this miniature from the Bibliotheque Municipale de Lyon transports us back to July 1099, where we witness Godefroy and his fellow crusaders deep in prayer at the Holy Sepulcre. The scene is filled with solemnity and devotion as these brave men seek divine guidance before embarking on their holy mission. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing intricate armor, flowing robes, and delicate expressions that reflect both determination and reverence. Godefroy de Bouillon stands at the center of this tableau, chosen by his peers for a sacred duty. His presence exudes leadership and strength as he bows his head in humble supplication. Surrounding him are other crusaders who have dedicated themselves to reclaiming Jerusalem from its Muslim rulers. This image not only serves as a visual representation of an important historical event but also offers insight into medieval religious practices and beliefs. It reminds us of the fervent faith that motivated countless individuals to embark on perilous journeys across vast distances. As we gaze upon this masterpiece captured by ePhoto Josse, we are reminded of our shared human history - one marked by conflict, conviction, and unwavering hope for something greater than ourselves.
