"James I the Conqueror: A Legacy of Triumph and Leadership" In this captivating collection of historical depictions, we are transported back to a time when James I, also known as Jacques I, reigned as King of Aragon. Through these vivid glimpses into his life and conquests, we witness the remarkable events that shaped his reign. One such momentous occasion was the banquet hosted by Pere Martell and Jacques I, where they deliberated on the conquest of the Balearic Islands. The Codex Poblet immortalizes this pivotal decision in its pages, showcasing the grandeur and significance of that fateful gathering. The Altarpiece of St. George further illustrates James I's indomitable spirit as it portrays troops under his command conquering Palma de Mallorca in 1229. This triumph marked a turning point in history and solidified James I's reputation as a conqueror. Amidst these tales of valor and victory, we catch glimpses of everyday life during James I's rule. A monk depicted in Libre dels Feits reminds us that even amidst great conquests, there were those who dedicated their lives to spiritual pursuits. But it is not just through military might that James I left an enduring legacy; he also presided over important assemblies such as the Cortes and Peace and Truce Assembly held in Tortosa. These gatherings showcased his commitment to governance and justice for his people. The fresco fragment depicting Arabs defending Mallorca from King James' attack serves as a reminder that history is often complex with multiple perspectives at play. It highlights both sides' determination to protect what they hold dear - their city or their kingdom. Through artistry spanning centuries - from vellum manuscripts to tempera paintings - we gain insight into this formidable ruler's character. Jaume Mateu's painting captures both strength and regality while conveying Jacques Ier d'Aragon dit le Conquerant's essence.
