EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Pope Urban II delivers his powerful sermon, preaching the first crusade at the Council of Clermont in France. The year is 1095, and this image showcases the unity between knights, nobility, and cardinals that was achieved under the guidance of Pope Urban II. The page taken from "Les Passages d'oultre mer du noble Godefroy de Bouillon, du bon roy Saint Loys et de several virtuous princes" by Sebastien Mamerot (15th century) is beautifully illuminated by Jean Colombe in 1474-1475 Paris. This masterpiece transports us back to a time when political and religious leaders gathered to discuss matters of great importance. In this scene, we witness Pope Urban II's charismatic presence as he addresses an attentive audience. His words are filled with conviction and fervor as he rallies support for the holy cause of reclaiming Jerusalem from Muslim control. The intricate details captured within this miniature painting showcase not only the artistic talent but also provide insight into medieval society. This photograph serves as a reminder of how religion played a pivotal role during those times while highlighting the power dynamics between different social classes. It encapsulates both historical significance and artistic brilliance, making it an invaluable piece for any enthusiast or scholar interested in exploring medieval Europe's complex tapestry.
