EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Louis IX of France disembarking at Damietta during the Seventh Crusade. Published in 1522, this woodcut from the Grand Voyage de Hierusalem transports us back to the 13th century, immersing us in an epic battle scene. Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, led this crusade from 1248 to 1254. In this image, we witness his arrival at Damietta, Egypt in 1249. The Saracen army looms ominously on the top right corner of the print, highlighting the imminent clash between two powerful forces. The port is bustling with activity as ships line up along the river Nile's estuary. Soldiers on horseback prepare for battle while banners and flags flutter in anticipation. Amidst all this chaos and tension, musicians play their instruments passionately; drums reverberate through the air adding an eerie soundtrack to this historical moment. Weapons such as cannons are strategically positioned along the battlefield as both sides gear up for combat. This woodcut masterfully depicts not only military might but also showcases intricate details of boats navigating through turbulent waters. As we gaze upon this artwork from a private collection now available via Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Art Library, we are transported into a pivotal chapter of medieval history where religion and power clashed amidst breathtaking landscapes and fierce battles fought on foreign shores.
