EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Bernard of Clairvaux, a prominent figure in the 12th-century Church, preaching the Second Crusade in Speyer, Germany in 1146. The artwork showcases the historical significance of this event and offers a glimpse into medieval Europe. Bernard of Clairvaux was an influential Cistercian abbot who played a crucial role in rallying support for the crusades. In this scene, he stands before a grand cathedral, passionately addressing a crowd that includes royalty and commoners alike. His words echo through the stone church as he implores them to take up arms and defend Christianity against its enemies. The artist skillfully captures the architectural beauty of both the cathedral and surrounding structures, highlighting their importance as symbols of faith and power during that era. The intricate details bring to life the atmosphere of religious fervor that permeated Europe at this time. This engraving is part of Otto von Corvin and Wilhelm Held's publication "Weltgeschichte Fur Das Volk" which aimed to educate readers about world history. Its inclusion in this collection speaks to its cultural significance even beyond its original creation. Overall, this print serves as a powerful reminder of how religion shaped political alliances, inspired military campaigns, and influenced art during one of history's most tumultuous periods - an enduring testament to human faith and resilience.
