EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, the Battle of Muret on 12 September 1213. Taken from "Histoire generale de Languedoc" by Joseph Vaissete and published in Paris in 1737, this engraving showcases the talent of the French School during the 18th century. The Battle of Muret was a significant event that took place during the Middle Ages in France. It was fought between forces loyal to King Peter II of Aragon and those supporting Simon de Montfort, leader of the Albigensian Crusade against Cathar heretics. The conflict had religious undertones as it aimed to suppress Catharism, which was considered a heresy by the Catholic Church. In this image, we witness an intense combat scene unfolding before our eyes. The intricate details and skillful use of shading bring life to each figure engaged in battle. The artist's ability to capture both movement and emotion is truly remarkable. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the clash between these opposing forces. It serves as a reminder of how religion played a significant role not only in shaping society but also fueling conflicts throughout history. Leonard de Selva's print allows us to appreciate this historical masterpiece while preserving its essence for generations to come.
