EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in the rich history of the Crown of Aragon and the Mediterranean: the Boarding of James I of Aragon in Salou, 1229. King James I, ruler of Aragon and Count of Barcelona, is shown preparing to embark on a historic expedition to conquer the Balearic Island of Majorca from the Moors. Surrounded by a group of loyal soldiers and nobles, James bids farewell to his loved ones and the shores of Salou as they set sail from the bustling harbor. The intricate engraving, taken from "The Catalan Illustration," published in 1904, is an exquisite representation of the scene. It was inspired by an engraving by Raimundo Tusquets and beautifully colored to bring the image to life. The detailed depiction of the medieval vessels, weapons, and clothing of the soldiers and sailors transports us back to the 13th century. James I's expedition, part of the larger Reconquista, or reconquest, of Spain, marked a significant turning point in the history of the Crown of Aragon. The successful conquest of Majorca expanded the kingdom's territories and solidified James' reputation as a formidable conqueror. The print serves as a testament to the courage and determination of the soldiers and people of the Crown of Aragon during this era. The harbor of Salou, located in the province of Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain, is the backdrop for this powerful scene. The image captures the excitement, anticipation, and sense of purpose that filled the air as the soldiers and their king prepared to set sail on their momentous journey. This evocative print is a must-have for history enthusiasts, art collectors, and anyone interested in the Middle Ages and the rich tapestry of Spanish history.
