This print takes us back to the 14th century, where military engineers are seen diligently working with a powerful catapult. The level of detail in this illumination by Jehan de Grise is truly remarkable and offers a glimpse into medieval warfare technology. In this scene from the Romance of Alexander, we witness the ingenuity and skill of these Flemish engineers as they operate the intricate machinery. The workers can be seen adjusting various components of the catapult, including its crank mechanism, ensuring that it is ready for action. Their focused expressions reveal their dedication to perfecting this formidable weapon. The use of illuminations during this time period was not only aesthetically pleasing but also served as an important tool for documenting historical events and technological advancements. This particular illustration showcases how warfare was evolving during the Middle Ages, with new technologies like catapults being employed on the battlefield. As we admire this image from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we are transported back in time to an era where military prowess relied heavily on innovative engineering solutions.
