EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment - the preaching of the Second Crusade by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in the presence of King Louis VII of France at Vezelay in 1146. The image, taken from Passages faits Outremer written by Sebastien Mamerot around 1490, showcases the remarkable talent and artistry of the French School during the 15th century. In this scene, we witness Saint Bernard passionately addressing a diverse crowd that includes knights, soldiers, and civilians. Dressed in his distinctive Cistercian robes, he stands as a symbol of religious authority and conviction. His words echo through time as he rallies these individuals to join forces against their common enemy - the Turks. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as King Louis VII listens attentively to Saint Bernard's call for action. With his regal attire and commanding presence, he represents not only political power but also embodies faith-driven leadership. The intricate details on this vellum manuscript transport us back to an era when holy armies were formed to defend their beliefs. The text accompanying this image further immerses us into history's pages filled with tales of bravery and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded once again that history has shaped our present reality. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring spirit and its relentless pursuit for justice and peace amidst tumultuous times.
