EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous banquet held by Father Martell for James I in Tarragona, Spain, in the year 1228. The occasion marked an important agreement between the two parties regarding the conquest of the Balearic Isles. This remarkable image is taken from Libre dels Feits, a vellum manuscript that chronicles King James I's reign and accomplishments. In this medieval scene, we witness a gathering of distinguished individuals seated around a lavishly adorned table. King James I himself sits at the head of the table, exuding regal authority and confidence. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as discussions about the forthcoming invasion unfold. The artist skillfully portrays every detail of this historic event – from ornate goblets to sumptuous dishes meticulously prepared for this grand feast. Each figure depicted carries their own significance within this narrative; they are conquerors and conqueror's allies alike. As we delve into history through this mesmerizing artwork, we cannot help but marvel at how such agreements were forged over elaborate meals centuries ago. It reminds us that diplomacy has long been intertwined with shared meals and conviviality. This photograph print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical importance. It allows us to glimpse into a pivotal moment when kingdoms aligned their interests through negotiation while indulging in extravagant banquets fit for kings and conquerors alike.
