EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illuminated manuscript page, created by the Master of Fauvel around 1337, depicts a pivotal moment in the Crusades' history: the Arrival of the Hospitallers in Baniyas. The Hospitallers, an order of knights renowned for their role in providing care for the sick and injured during the Crusades, were led by their Grand Master, Godefroy de Buillon, as they entered the Syrian city of Baniyas. The illustration captures the grandeur and pageantry of the Crusader army, with knights on horseback, banners flying high, and the distinctive red cross of the Hospitallers emblazoned on their surcoats. In the foreground, the figure of Longinus, the legendary Roman centurion who was said to have pierced the side of Christ during the Crucifixion, welcomes the Hospitallers to the city. This symbolic encounter underscores the religious significance of the Crusades and the knights' role in defending the Holy Land. The intricate details of the illustration are brought to life through the masterful use of gouache on parchment, showcasing the exceptional skill of the Master of Fauvel. The illuminated manuscript from which this page is taken, "Li rommans de Godefroy de Buillon et de Salehadin," is a testament to the rich artistic and historical heritage of the Middle Ages.
