EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the pilgrimage to Jerusalem in the 12th century, under the protection of the esteemed Knights Templar. The image showcases a group of pilgrims, guided by these noble knights, standing before the majestic city of Jerusalem. The Knights Templar, known as the Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, were a religious military order dedicated to safeguarding pilgrims on their journey to holy sites. Led by Hugues de Payens, French knights who took vows to protect these travelers formed this renowned brotherhood around 1119. In this scene between the first and second crusades, we witness an iconic display of chivalry and devotion. The pilgrims are depicted with reverence and gratitude towards their valiant escorts as they approach their sacred destination. The intricate details captured by this 19th-century English School engraving transport us back in time. We can almost feel ourselves walking alongside these brave souls as they embark on their spiritual quest amidst turbulent times. This historic artwork serves as a testament to human resilience and unwavering faith during an era marked by conflict and religious fervor. It reminds us that even amid chaos, there were individuals committed to protecting those seeking solace within ancient walls. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection today, let it serve as a reminder that unity and compassion can prevail over adversity - just like those courageous Pilgrims under escort of Knights Templar centuries ago.
