EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning medieval miniature from the Historia by William of Tyre, dating back to the 1460s. The anonymous artist skillfully depicts two significant events in history - the death of Baldwin IV and the coronation of Guy of Lusignan. In this intricately detailed artwork, we witness a pivotal moment in France's medieval past. The scene unfolds within Jerusalem, amidst an atmosphere charged with emotion and anticipation. A knightly figure stands at the center, representing Baldwin IV, whose demise marked a turning point in the Crusades. The artist's mastery is evident through their use of watercolor on parchment, which brings life to every stroke and hue. This illuminated manuscript transports us back to an era where book art was revered as a form of storytelling. As our gaze shifts towards Guy de Lusignan's coronation, we are reminded of his ascension to power following Baldwin IV's passing. The grandeur and regality surrounding this event are palpable through each meticulously crafted detail. Preserved within the collection of Bibliotheque de Geneve, this remarkable piece serves as both an artistic treasure and historical document. It offers viewers a glimpse into France's rich medieval heritage while honoring those who played crucial roles during that tumultuous time.
