EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense mounted combat between two legendary figures, Richard the Lionheart and Saladin, during the Crusade of 1191. The encaustic tiles from Chertsey Abbey in Surrey beautifully depict this historical moment from the 13th century. Richard I, also known as Coeur de Lion or Lionheart, was the valiant king of England from 1189 to 1199. His opponent, Saladin, a revered Muslim leader and warrior, commanded great respect for his military prowess. In this image, both kings are seen astride their majestic horses engaged in a fierce battle that symbolizes not only war but also religious conflict. The vibrant colors of these tiles bring life to this ancient scene and highlight the significance of Christianity and Islam during that era. The soldiers surrounding Richard and Saladin further emphasize the scale of this crusade. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by King Richard I himself alongside Saladin and an unknown creator, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. It serves as a reminder of how conflicts shaped our world while showcasing the bravery displayed by these iconic figures on horseback. Let us cherish such artifacts that preserve our past so vividly and allow us to appreciate the complexities of religion, warfare, and human nature throughout centuries gone by.
