This striking print captures the historic moment when Pope Urbain II called for the first crusade at the Council of Clermont in 1095. The colour engraving, based on a medieval miniature, brings to life the solemnity and gravity of this pivotal event in Christian history. Pope Urbain II, also known as Eudes de Chatillon or Odon de Lagery, is depicted here in all his regal splendor, surrounded by clergy and knights who would heed his call to arms. The intricate details of the engraving showcase the rich tapestries and ornate vestments worn by those present at this council.
