EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning miniature painting, created by Antoine Verard in 1498, depicts a pivotal moment in the First Crusade (1095-1099) - the Taking of Jerusalem. The Crusaders, led by God's call to liberate the Holy Land from Muslim rule, are shown engaging in fierce combat with the Saracens (Muslim defenders) beneath the city walls. The intricate details of the Gothic art illustration reveal the intensity and chaos of the battle, with Crusaders wielding swords, shields, and bows against their determined adversaries. The national library of the University of Turin in Italy houses this priceless work of art, which was originally illustrated in the romance "Ogier le Danois." The painting's historical significance lies in its representation of a turning point in the Crusades, as Jerusalem was finally captured on July 15, 1099, marking the beginning of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. This image is a testament to the rich artistic and historical heritage of the Middle Ages.
