EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This powerful print showcases a haunting detail from a medieval illuminated manuscript, depicting the harrowing events of the Third Crusade of Pastoureaux. Created by the talented artist Virgil Master around 1380-1420, this particular scene captures an act of unimaginable cruelty and persecution during that time. In this chilling depiction, Jews are shown throwing their own children from a tower as they face relentless persecution and anti-Semitism. The image serves as a stark reminder of the dark history surrounding religious conflicts in medieval France. The fine art watercolor on parchment technique used by Virgil Master brings to life the anguish and despair felt by those caught in the midst of these crusades. Through his intricate details and masterful brushstrokes, he conveys not only the physical violence but also highlights themes of fear, desperation, and human suffering. This historical artwork sheds light on a painful chapter in Jewish history while serving as a testament to the enduring power of art to document such atrocities. Preserved within private collections today, it stands as an important artifact that prompts reflection on our collective past and emphasizes the importance of tolerance and understanding in our present world.
