EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Seventh Crusade led by King Saint Louis (1214-1270) and the intense sieges of Damietta in June 1249, located in Lower Egypt. The image is a miniature taken from the manuscript "Speculum historiale" (Le Mirror historial) by Vincent de Beauvais (1184/94-1264), beautifully illuminated by the Master Francois during the 15th century. In this scene, we witness an awe-inspiring display of military might as King Saint Louis and his army cross into enemy territory with determination and bravery. The French flag proudly waves above them, symbolizing their allegiance to their homeland. Armed with lances, shields, and bucklers, they prepare for combat against formidable opponents. The intricate details within this artwork are truly remarkable. Each figure is meticulously painted, showcasing their armor and weapons with precision. Amidst the chaos of war, a delicate lily flower can be seen blooming nearby - perhaps representing hope or purity amidst the violence. From a distance, we catch a glimpse of Damietta itself - its walls standing tall as if challenging those who dare to breach its defenses. This cityscape adds depth to the composition while reminding us of the ultimate goal these crusaders sought to achieve. As we admire this historical masterpiece preserved at Musee Conde in Chantilly, France; it serves as a powerful reminder of past conflicts that have shaped our world today. Through art like this photograph print by Photo Josse, we gain insight into medieval warfare and honor those who fought bravely for their beliefs during tumultuous times in history.
