EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic moment when Adhemar de Monteil, the Bishop of Puy-en-Velay, fearlessly led the Crusader Barons during the First Crusade in 1096-7. The image, captured by William of Tyre (Archbishop), is a remarkable piece from the Bibliotheque Municipale de Lyon in France. In this vivid depiction, we witness Bishop Adhemar taking charge on behalf of Pope Urban II as they embark on their sacred mission to reclaim Jerusalem. The manuscript from which this print originates, Histoire d'Outremer (d'Outre-Mer) dating back to around 1280, provides valuable insights into this monumental campaign. The illuminated artwork transports us back to the medieval era and offers a glimpse into an epoch marked by religious fervor and territorial conflicts. It symbolizes not only a significant chapter in Christian history but also reflects Byzantine influence and interactions with Muslim rulers such as Fatamid. The composition beautifully captures the determination and unity among crusaders who were driven by their faith and desire to secure holy lands. As we observe each figure depicted with meticulous detail, it becomes evident that this image holds immense historical significance for understanding wars of religion and medieval power dynamics. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this extraordinary photograph has been made available for all to appreciate. It serves as a reminder of our rich past while igniting curiosity about these transformative events that continue to shape our world today.
