EDITORS COMMENTS

The image, a colour lithograph by Alexandre Cabanel, depicts King Louis IX of France as he finds himself captured and held captive by the Saracens during the Seventh Crusade. In this powerful scene, we witness the vulnerability of royalty and the clash between Christianity and Islam.

Through this image, we are reminded of the complexities surrounding religion, power struggles, and cultural differences that defined this era. Cabanel's attention to detail brings life to each character depicted in this print. From their facial expressions to their meticulously crafted armor and weaponry - every element adds depth to our understanding of this pivotal moment in history. As we gaze upon "St Louis a Prisoner in the Hands of the Saracens" we are transported back centuries ago when empires clashed on distant shores.
