EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century wood engraving depicts the remarkable Eleanor of Aquitaine, a queen who left an indelible mark on both France and England. In this particular print, she is seen surrounded by her Provençal troubadours in Antioch, Syria during the Second Crusade in 1148. Eleanor's influence extended far beyond her royal titles as Queen of Louis VII of France and later Henry II of England. Known for her beauty, intelligence, and political acumen, she was a true force to be reckoned with during the medieval era. The image showcases Eleanor's regal presence amidst a lush forest backdrop. Her elegant attire reflects her status as a powerful woman in European history. The inclusion of harpists adds another layer to the scene - troubadours were highly regarded musicians who entertained courts with their lyrical talents. As one can imagine, being present at such a significant historical event like the Second Crusade must have been awe-inspiring. This wood engraving beautifully captures Eleanor's grace and poise while highlighting her role as both queen consort and crusader. Created after Gustave Doré's original artwork, this print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate not only Eleanor's legacy but also the artistic talent that went into immortalizing her story through visual representation.
