The troops of Godfrey of Bouillon are seen bravely battling against the infidels, as they strive to conquer this holy land. The image is taken from a remarkable manuscript titled "From the creation of the world to the conquest of the Holy Land" created around 1200. This exquisite miniature showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that bring this ancient event to life. The architectural marvels of Antioch's walls serve as a backdrop for this intense warfare scene. Soldiers can be seen ascending stairs, determinedly making their way towards victory under Godfrey's leadership. The vertical composition adds depth and intensity to this historical moment. This photograph is housed within Turin's National Library, preserving an important chapter in Western history during the High Middle Ages.
