EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print captures a significant moment in history - the disembarkation of King Louis IX of France at Carthage during the Eighth Crusade in 1270. The image portrays the medieval monarch, known for his piety and kindness to the poor, stepping onto North African soil alongside his fellow soldiers. Clad in knightly armor, he stands tall as a symbol of Christian faith and determination. The scene is filled with anticipation and tension as the French army prepares to engage in warfare against their enemies. The ships that brought them across treacherous waters now rest peacefully on the shores behind them, serving as a reminder of their arduous journey. Louis IX's tragic fate is foreshadowed by this image; soon after arriving in North Africa, disease would strike both him and his son Jean Tristran, leading to their untimely deaths. Despite this heartbreaking outcome, Louis' legacy lives on through his canonization by Pope Boniface VIII in 1297. Through this black-and-white woodcut print from 1518, we are transported back to an era where religion played a central role in shaping political decisions and military campaigns. It serves as a powerful testament to the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by crusaders like King Louis IX who fought fervently for their beliefs.
