EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the intense and dramatic scene of "Fol. 30r The Landing of the Greeks, the Siege of Tenedos Castle and the Death of the Defenders" from the Codex Benito Santa Mora. Created by an unknown Spanish artist in the 15th century, this vellum manuscript tells a captivating story from ancient times - The Trojan War. In this particular illustration, we witness a chaotic clash between two opposing forces on an island in the Aegean Sea. The arrival of Greek soldiers is marked by their imposing ship anchored near Tenedos Castle. With swords drawn and armor gleaming, they storm ashore to engage in battle against defenders who valiantly fight for their lives. The illuminated artwork showcases intricate details that bring this historical moment to life. Knights on horseback charge forward with determination while foot soldiers engage in fierce combat all around them. Looting and killing are rampant as both sides desperately strive for victory. This image not only serves as a visual representation but also provides insight into medieval warfare strategies and weaponry used during that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into one of history's most legendary conflicts - where heroes were made, alliances were broken, and destinies were forever altered. Preserved within Biblioteca Monasterio del Escorial in Madrid, Spain, this masterpiece continues to captivate art enthusiasts with its rich storytelling ability and exquisite craftsmanship.
