EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical figure Godfrey of Bouillon, a prominent figure in medieval times. Born in 1058, Godfrey was not only the Duke of Lower Lorraine from 1082 to 1100 but also held the distinction of being the first King of Jerusalem. The image portrays him on the left side, accompanied by Deipyle, an ancient Greek heroine. This stunning fresco was created by Giacomo Jaquerio around 1420 and can be found at Castello della Manta in Saluzzo, Italy. Interestingly, it is worth noting that these portraits are not actually based on Godfrey and Deipyle themselves but rather on Margrave Manfred I of Saluzzo and his wife Eleonora. Nevertheless, this does not detract from the beauty and significance of this artwork. The mural captures various elements associated with Godfrey's life and era - his noble stature is evident through his regal attire adorned with a crest and cross symbolizing his role as a crusader. Additionally, he wields both a halberd and pick ax/poleax which were commonly used weapons during medieval times. This print provides viewers with a glimpse into history while showcasing remarkable Renaissance artistry. It serves as a reminder of Godfrey's significant contributions to Palestine (Jerusalem) during an era marked by mythological tales intertwined with political power struggles between noblemen and noblewomen across Europe.
