EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The burning of Templars" a powerful scene depicted in the illuminated manuscript "De casibus virorum illustrium" by Giovanni Boccaccio. Created by the talented artist known as Master of the White inscriptions around 1480, this artwork is now housed in the esteemed collection of the British Library. In this medieval masterpiece, we witness a dramatic moment from history unfold before our eyes. The image transports us to the era of crusades and knights, where Philip IV, also known as Philip the Fair, takes center stage. As leader of France during that time, he played a significant role in shaping European history. The painting captures an intense atmosphere with its vibrant watercolor and gouache on paper technique. It portrays knights Hospitaller and Templar amidst flames, symbolizing their persecution under Philip IV's orders. Jacques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar at that time, stands boldly among his brethren facing their tragic fate. Through this artwork's meticulous details and intricate illumination techniques commonly seen during the Renaissance period, it offers us a glimpse into both historical events and artistic craftsmanship from centuries ago. As we admire this fine art piece today, let us remember its historical significance while appreciating its aesthetic beauty.
