In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the year 1249, witnessing a historic encounter between two influential figures. St. Louis (1214-70), the revered King of France, is depicted receiving Robert Patriarch of Jerusalem in Damietta. Painted by Oscar Gue in 1846, this oil on canvas artwork measures 70x70 cm and currently resides at the Château de Versailles in France. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of victory and triumph as Saint Louis stands beneath an exquisite canopy, symbolizing his royal authority. The bishop and crusaders surround him, their presence emphasizing the significance of this meeting during the Seventh Crusade. With determination etched upon their faces, these soldiers fought valiantly for their cause - a holy war to reclaim Jerusalem from its captors. Damietta itself serves as an awe-inspiring setting for this momentous occasion. As one gazes at the painting's intricate details, they can almost hear the bustling sounds of city life and feel the salty breeze from its port wafting through. This remarkable artwork not only captures a specific historical event but also encapsulates medieval aesthetics with its rich colors and meticulous attention to detail.
