EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the siege of Jerusalem in 1187 by Saladin, the renowned Sultan of Egypt and Syria. In this engraving from "L'histoire de France racontée à mes grandenfants" by Francois Guizot, we witness an extraordinary scene unfold. The Christians are seen leaving Jerusalem under the watchful gaze of Saladin, who has just conquered the city. What makes this image truly remarkable is that despite his victory, Saladin shows mercy towards the Christians. This act of compassion stands as a testament to his character and highlights his respect for humanity amidst conflict. The artist Stefano Bianchetti beautifully portrays this historical event with intricate details and vibrant colors. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when religious tensions were at their peak during the Crusades. As we reflect on this image, it serves as a reminder that even in times of war and conquest, there can be moments of empathy and understanding between different cultures and religions. It is through such acts that bridges can be built instead of walls. This print not only captures a pivotal moment in history but also invites us to contemplate themes of mercy, tolerance, and unity across diverse communities.
