EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Pape Urbain prechant la Croisade a Clermont" or "Pope Urban II preaching the First Crusade, Clermont, France, 1095" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the French School in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, this artwork is an illustration for Victor Duruy's "Histoire de France" published by Hachette in 1892. The scene depicts Pope Urban II delivering his influential sermon during the Council of Clermont in 1095. With great fervor and conviction, he addresses a diverse audience gathered before him. The people listen attentively as they witness this pivotal call to arms for the First Crusade. The artist skillfully captures not only the historical significance but also the architectural grandeur of Clermont Ferrand's stone church where this momentous event took place. The intricate details of its design serve as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic craftsmanship prevalent during medieval times. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, we are transported back to an era defined by faith and conflict. It serves as a reminder of how religion has shaped our world throughout history and continues to influence society today. This engraving encapsulates not only Christian values but also human aspirations for glory and conquest that marked those turbulent times known as the Middle Ages.
