EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illuminated manuscript page, created by the Master of Fauvel between 1314 and 1340, showcases the Turkish cavalry from the French epic poem "Li rommans de Godefroy de Buillon et de Salehadin," composed around 1337. The scene depicts a fierce battle between the Crusaders, led by Godfrey of Bouillon, and the Turkish forces, symbolized by the gallant horsemen in this image. The Turkish cavalrymen are dressed in intricately patterned armor, their turbans adorned with elaborate decorations. Each rider is depicted with a determined expression, ready to charge into battle with their lances held high. The horses, too, are shown in great detail, their muscles taut, their manes and tails flowing in the wind. The background is filled with swirling clouds and a chaotic scene of combat, further emphasizing the intensity of the battle. The use of gouache on parchment allows for a rich, vibrant color palette, making the image all the more captivating. This illuminated manuscript page is a testament to the artistic and cultural exchange that took place during the Middle Ages. The Master of Fauvel's intricate and detailed illustrations provide a glimpse into the world of the Crusades, a time of great conflict and adventure. The Turkish cavalrymen depicted here are not only fierce warriors but also symbols of the diverse and complex world of the medieval period.
