EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century colour lithograph, titled "Duke Robert goes to Palestine" takes us back in time to the era of knights and crusades. Published in 1890 as part of a collection called "Pictures of English History" this print showcases the artistic talent and attention to detail prevalent during that period. The central figure depicted is Duke Robert, also known as "Curthose" who ruled Normandy from 1087 to 1106. Clad in magnificent armor, he sits confidently atop his horse, ready for battle. The image transports us to the Holy Land during the First Crusade, where brave knights like Duke Robert fought valiantly against all odds. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this historical moment with vibrant colours and intricate details. Lions symbolizing courage flank both sides of Duke Robert's shield, emphasizing his bravery and strength. In the background, soldiers on horseback can be seen riding towards their noble cause. This print not only serves as a visual representation of an important historical event but also reflects the sporting spirit associated with knightly pursuits. Horse riding was considered both a sport and a means for warriors to showcase their skills. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable lithograph offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in medieval history while appreciating its artistic beauty. It stands as a testament to our fascination with chivalry and heroism throughout centuries past.
