EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print from the Liszt Collection captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the infamous Bertrand de Gourdon who fatally shot Richard Lionheart. The image showcases the brutal consequences of their encounter, as Bertrand is depicted being skinned alive for his heinous act. The top left mark on this print indicates that it can be found on folio 468, suggesting its place within a larger collection or historical document. This particular artwork serves as a chilling reminder of the militant proselytizing and religious wars that plagued medieval Europe during the time of crusades. The violent death by flaying endured by Bertrand I de Gourdon at the hands of his captors is graphically portrayed in this etching created by Jan Luyken in Amsterdam back in 1683. Measuring at approximately 164 mm high and 129 mm wide, this paper print offers an intimate glimpse into an era marked by bloodshed and political turmoil. It is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use associated with the photo print.
