The King of France Embarks on a Sacred Journey - Departure for the Crusades, c1336
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history as the King of France, believed to be Philip VI, sets off with his host for the Holy Land. Dating back to the 14th century, this illustration from Jean Mielot's translation of "Directorium ad passagium faciendum" showcases the medieval era's grandeur and religious fervor. The image depicts an imposing fortification with towering walls and a moat surrounding it. The king, adorned in regal attire and accompanied by his army of soldiers and crusaders, stands at the forefront. His majestic presence is emphasized by the iconic fleur de lis emblem prominently displayed on his clothing. Amidst this scene lies a bustling harbor where ships await their departure. These vessels symbolize both transportation and warfare as they will carry these brave men across treacherous waters towards their sacred mission. The composition exudes an aura of anticipation mixed with solemnity as people gather to witness this historic event. Men on horseback add dynamism to the scene while animals graze peacefully nearby, oblivious to the impending journey that awaits their human counterparts. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to an age when faith moved nations and kings embarked on perilous quests in service of God. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring quest for spiritual enlightenment amidst tumultuous times.
