EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print, titled "Crusaders returning from the Holy Land" takes us back to the year 1492 in Paris. Created by A. Verard and printed as a miniature illustration for Ogier le Danois, it offers a glimpse into the late medieval era and its heroic tales. The scene depicts a group of knights, hailed as heroes, arriving on boats after their arduous journey from the Holy Land. The ships are anchored near the shore while soldiers disembark with triumphant expressions on their faces. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; each knight's armor shines under the sun's rays, emphasizing their valor and strength. As we observe this artwork closely, we can't help but be transported back in time to an age when chivalry and honor were held in high regard. The artist skillfully captures both the excitement of homecoming and the weariness that comes after years of battle. This print serves as a testament to early printing techniques during the Renaissance period known as incunabula or incunabulum - referring to books printed before 1501 AD. It also showcases how art was used not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a means of storytelling and preserving historical events. Bridgeman Images has brought this exquisite piece from Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin, Italy into our modern world through Fine Art Finder. As we admire this image today, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its ability to
