EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment of Baldwin of Boulogne entering Edessa in February 1098 during the First Crusade. The miniature, created by an anonymous artist in the 1460s and found in the collection of Bibliotheque de Geneve, is a remarkable example of medieval illuminated art. In this scene, we witness Baldwin I, also known as Baldwin I of Edessa or Baldwin I of Jerusalem, riding on horseback with great determination and valor. Clad in his knightly armor, he commands attention as he leads his fellow crusaders into the city. The artist's skillful use of watercolor on parchment brings life to this medieval manuscript illustration. The image not only showcases the bravery and strength embodied by these crusaders but also provides a glimpse into a significant chapter in history – the Crusades. It serves as a visual testament to their unwavering commitment to reclaiming Jerusalem from Muslim control. The inclusion of this artwork within William of Tyre's Historia further emphasizes its importance as a historical document. This illuminated manuscript offers valuable insights into events that shaped medieval Europe and highlights how art played an integral role in recording such moments for posterity. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we are transported back to France during the Middle Ages – a time when knights embarked on perilous journeys fueled by religious fervor and noble aspirations. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors, this photograph print invites us to reflect upon our shared human history while appreciating the
