Fr 9084 f. 20v - Departure for the First Crusade
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous scene from history, depicting the departure for the First Crusade as chronicled by William of Tyre. Painted on vellum and preserved in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork showcases Godfrey of Bouillon, Duke of Lorraine, leading his men towards their sacred mission. Godfrey of Bouillon stands tall and resolute at the forefront, adorned in a magnificent surcoat that symbolizes his commitment to Christianity and crusading. His caparisoned horse exudes strength and power as it carries its noble rider into battle. The manuscript's intricate details bring to life an era long past – pennants fluttering proudly in the wind, knights decorated with ornate armor, and warriors ready to fight for their holy cause. As one of the leaders of the First Crusade from 1096 until his death in 1100, Godfrey played a pivotal role in reclaiming Jerusalem through a successful siege. After this triumph, he became the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. This decorative miniature serves as a reminder not only of historical events but also highlights medieval artistry at its finest. Its ornamental elements transport us back to an age where chivalry reigned supreme and valor was celebrated.
