EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 14th-century Codex Entree d Espagne, showcasing the desperate act of seeking asylum in a convent. The vellum manuscript, created by an Italian School artist, tells the tale of Charlemagne's battles in Spain and the adventures of Roland, one of his paladins. Within this epic narrative lies a moment of retreat and refuge as depicted in this illustration. The image portrays a male refugee finding solace within the secure walls of a Venetian monastery. Seeking safety and protection from unknown perils, he turns to the sanctuary offered by these holy grounds. The intricate details on display highlight not only the medieval setting but also emphasize the significance placed on finding shelter during tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to an era where manuscripts were treasured possessions that held stories worth preserving for generations to come. This particular codex serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of humanity's enduring quest for security amidst chaos. It prompts us to reflect on our own responsibility towards those who seek asylum today while appreciating how past cultures grappled with similar challenges centuries ago. In this single frame captured from history's pages resides an entire narrative - one that speaks volumes about resilience, compassion, and our shared desire for peace.
