EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a significant moment in the history of Majorca, an island in the Mediterranean Sea, during the late 13th century. The scene portrayed is James I of Aragon's (1208-1276) camp for the assault on Palma de Mallorca, the capital city of the island, which took place between 1285 and 1290. The Master of the Conquest of Majorca, an anonymous artist, meticulously captured this historical event as a frieze in one of the palace rooms in Barcelona, Spain. The image shows James I and his army preparing for the final assault on Palma de Mallorca, which had been under Muslim rule since 903 AD. The date, December 31, 1229, is inscribed at the bottom of the print, suggesting that this scene represents the planning and preparation phase before the actual assault. The soldiers are shown in various stages of readiness, some sharpening their swords, others tending to their horses, and others discussing tactics. James I, dressed in royal attire and mounted on a horse, is shown giving orders to his generals and knights. The fresco, now housed in the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona, provides a unique glimpse into the military tactics and organization of the medieval Spanish army during the Reconquista, the centuries-long Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print bring the historical event to life, making it a valuable addition to any collection of European art or history.
