EDITORS COMMENTS
Canto VII: The Battle of Mount Ararat in Jerusalem Delivered II by Torquato Tasso, as depicted in this 16th century etching by Antonio Tempesta. This powerful image captures the intensity and chaos of the Crusades, a pivotal moment in European history. The scene is set in the Middle East, with the Christian Crusaders, depicted as cavalrymen on horseback, charging against the Saracen forces. The battle takes place on the mountaintop, with the biblical Mount Ararat in the background. The Crusaders are shown in full armor, their faces determined and focused, as they lead their horses and dogs into the fray. Children and women are also present, adding a sense of human scale and vulnerability to the scene. The Saracen forces, in turn, are portrayed as a menacing horde of armed men and animals, including cattle and horses. The etching is a stunning example of Baroque art, with intricate lettering and detailed illustrations that bring the epic poem to life. This print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a testament to the enduring cultural significance of the Crusades and the art that has emerged from this period in history.
