EDITORS COMMENTS
Three Christian Kings: A Triumph of Faith and Valor, 1567, by Harmen Jansz Muller This engraving, titled "Three Christian Kings," created by Harmen Jansz Muller in the 1560s, is a captivating depiction of three renowned Christian monarchs riding horseback in full armor. The image, part of the series "Nine Heroes," showcases Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great or Karl der Grosse, Duke of Lower Lorraine, and Godefroy de Bouillon, Lord of Bouillon and the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Charlemagne, dressed in imperial robes and crowned, is depicted on the left, symbolizing the strength and power of the European continent. He is renowned for his significant role in spreading Christianity throughout Europe and is often considered the father of Europe. Godefroy de Bouillon, on the right, is shown in a suit of armor, wearing a white mantle and holding a banner. He is known for his leadership during the First Crusade and his role as the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. In the center, King Arthur, a legendary figure, is depicted on horseback, symbolizing the concept of chivalry and the Christian ideal of the knight. While his historicity is debated, his inclusion in this image highlights the importance of the Christian faith in the European imagination. The engraving, with its intricate details and bold lines, transports us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the fashion, arts, and values of the time. This powerful image, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its timeless message of faith, valor, and the enduring legacy of Christian kings.
