EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back in time to a significant moment in history. The woodcut depicts Saint Louis, also known as Louis IX of France, during his first crusade on the Sixth Crusade. In 1249, he successfully captured Damietta, located in the Nile Delta region. As we gaze at this image, our eyes are drawn to the top right corner where the Saracen army is depicted. This serves as a reminder of the intense religious war that was taking place during this period. The juxtaposition of Saint Louis disembarking from Damietta and the presence of the Muslim army symbolizes both conflict and conquest. The woodcut itself is a testament to artistic skill and craftsmanship. Created in 1522 for "Grand voyage de Hierusalem" it captures intricate details with precision and finesse. Each stroke tells a story, transporting us into an era filled with religious fervor and political ambition. It's important to note that this print should not be used for commercial purposes but rather appreciated for its historical significance. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on past events while acknowledging their impact on shaping our present world. In conclusion, this remarkable print immortalizes Saint Louis' triumphal moment during his first crusade while capturing the essence of religious warfare in medieval times.
