EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of the "Naval Battle of Episkopi in 1323" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Painted by Auguste Etienne Francois Mayer in 1841, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 111x149 cm and is housed at the Château de Versailles in France. The scene depicted showcases the Order of St. John of Jerusalem's triumph over the Turkish fleet during the Crusades. Gerard des Pins, Lieutenant Grand Master from 1317-32, can be seen commanding the French fleet with great determination and strategic prowess.
