EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time from the 12th century. The image showcases an intimate scene depicting Hugh de Vaudemont, a valiant crusader, being warmly embraced by his devoted wife. Their love and affection are palpable as they reunite after his arduous journey. The stone artwork originates from the cloister of the priory of Belval, near Portieux, in Lorraine. It beautifully portrays not only marital love but also highlights the significance of conjugal bonds during times of pilgrimage and crusades. Hugh de Vaudemont's participation in the Second Crusade (1147-49) is noteworthy as it symbolizes his unwavering commitment to faith and duty. Despite facing countless challenges on this sacred quest, he finds solace and strength within the loving embrace of his wife. The couple's connection is further emphasized through their physical gestures - her arms wrapped around him protectively while he clutches a staff and scrip denoting their shared journey. This tender display serves as a testament to enduring love amidst tumultuous times. Currently housed at Musee des Monuments Francais in Paris, France, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us that even amidst chaos and strife, love can triumph over all obstacles. It stands as an eternal reminder that true devotion knows no bounds - be it across continents or centuries.
