EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Robert II le Hierosolymitain, Count of Flanders (d. 1111)" by Henri Decaisne, takes us back to the medieval era with its exquisite details and historical significance. Painted in 1843 using oil on canvas, this artwork measures 91x103 cm and is currently housed at the Château de Versailles in France. The subject of the painting is Robert II le Hierosolymitain, a prominent figure from history who held the title of Count of Flanders. Dressed in full knightly attire, he stands proudly with his chainmail armor glinting under the light. A cross adorns his chestplate while a shield rests beside him as symbols of his devotion to Christianity and valorous deeds during the Crusades. With a stern expression on his face and a helmet resting at his side, Robert II exudes an air of authority befitting an aristocratic warrior. The oval-shaped composition adds elegance to this portrayal while emphasizing the count's noble lineage. This remarkable artwork not only showcases Decaisne's skillful brushwork but also serves as a visual testament to an important period in European history. It transports viewers back to the twelfth century when knights like Robert II played crucial roles in defending their lands and spreading their faith through military campaigns known as crusades. Through this print, we are reminded of our rich past and encouraged to appreciate both artistry and historical heritage that continue to inspire us
