EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment in medieval history - the Death of Amalric I of Jerusalem and the Coronation of Baldwin IV. Created by an anonymous artist in the 1460s, this miniature is part of William of Tyre's Historia and can be found in the esteemed collection of Bibliotheque de Geneve. The image transports us back to France during the Middle Ages, where knights clad in armor gather around a scene filled with both sorrow and hope. The illuminated manuscript captures the essence of a crusade, as it depicts key figures from that era. Amalric I, also known as Amaury I or Aimery I, lies lifeless on his bed while being mourned by those who admired him. In stark contrast to this somber moment, we witness another significant event unfolding simultaneously - the coronation ceremony for Baldwin IV. This young king assumes his rightful place on the throne amidst an atmosphere charged with anticipation and uncertainty. The fine art watercolor technique used on parchment adds depth and richness to every detail within this masterpiece. It serves as a testament to both the skillful craftsmanship of medieval artists and their dedication to preserving historical events through visual storytelling. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its invaluable contribution to our understanding of medieval times and their lasting impact on European history.
