EDITORS COMMENTS
This miniature painting depicts Pope Urban II (c. 1035-1099), the Catholic Church leader from 1088 to 1099, delivering a powerful sermon at the Council of Clermont in 1095. Urban II is shown seated on his ornate throne, surrounded by cardinals and bishops, as he passionately urges the faithful to answer his call to arms and embark on the First Crusade. The crusade, which aimed to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim rule, was authorized by the Pope in this historic speech. The scene takes place inside the grand interiors of a treasured bibliotheque or library, with intricate Gothic architectural details and rich colors adorning the walls. The Master of Boucicaut, a renowned artist of the early 15th century, skillfully captured the intensity of the moment, as Urban II's words ignited a wave of determination and devotion among his listeners. This evocative work of art, part of the Trèsor des histoires in the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal in Paris, is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the indelible impact of Urban II's call to arms.
