EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and grandeur of a cavalry battle between Crusaders and Saracens in the 12th century. The scene is taken from a stained-glass window in St. Denis church, showcasing the remarkable artistry of that era. The Crusaders are depicted wearing chainmail coats and pointed helmets adorned with small crosses, symbolizing their devotion to their cause. One warrior proudly holds a standard (gonfanon or gonfalon), representing unity and leadership on the battlefield. The profile portrait of Charles the Good, Count of Flanders, adds historical context to this powerful image. Painted in the 15th century at Saint-Salvator Cathedral in Bruges, it provides insight into one of the key figures involved in these medieval conflicts. Handcoloured lithography by Villain beautifully brings this artwork to life, capturing every intricate detail with precision. Horace de Viel-Castel's illustration from his Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France further enriches our understanding of French fashion and culture during this period. This print serves as a visual gateway into ancient history and offers an opportunity for reflection on past struggles and triumphs. It reminds us of humanity's enduring spirit throughout time while celebrating both artistic mastery and historical significance.
