EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the historic event of the capture of Jerusalem by Sultan Saladin during the Third Crusade. Painted in intricate detail, this 15th-century miniature from "Chronicle abregee" by David Aubert transports us back to a time of great conflict and cultural exchange. The image showcases a dramatic encounter between two forces: on one side, we see Saladin, a formidable figure mounted on his horse, leading his troops towards victory. His presence exudes power and determination as he takes control of Jerusalem. On the other side, we witness the imposing castle walls that once protected the city now succumbing to Saladin's forces. The artist skillfully captures not only the historical significance but also provides us with glimpses into daily life during this period. The miniature offers a view of a bustling cityscape with its distinct architecture and dwellings, giving us insight into how people lived during those times. Furthermore, horses play an essential role in this scene; they symbolize strength and agility as they carry warriors into battle. These majestic animals are depicted alongside other wildlife that would have coexisted within these medieval landscapes. Overall, this print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also serves as a valuable historical document. It allows us to immerse ourselves in an era marked by religious fervor and territorial disputes while appreciating the craftsmanship and attention to detail exhibited by both artist David Aubert and unknown creator (s) who contributed to its creation centuries ago.
