EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the momentous occasion when Pope Urban II (1042-1099) prepared for the first Crusade in 1056 at Marmoutier, near Tours. The intricate details of this historical event are beautifully depicted in this print from a book on the Crusades, published by editions Alfred Mame & Fils in 1892.
Pope Urban II's call to arms during the First Crusade marked a significant turning point in history, as Christians from across Europe embarked on a journey to reclaim Jerusalem and other holy sites from Muslim control. The image conveys the sense of urgency and fervor that must have surrounded this pivotal moment, as knights and soldiers gathered under the banner of faith to embark on their quest.
The artist has skillfully captured the essence of Pope Urban II's leadership and determination as he rallied his followers to take up arms in defense of Christianity. The engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of the Crusades and their impact on medieval Europe.
As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are transported back in time to an era filled with passion, conflict, and religious fervor. It is a testament to both the power of art to preserve history and our eternal fascination with stories of bravery and sacrifice.
