EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, a copy of the painting by the renowned French artist Joseph Robert-Fleury, depicts a pivotal moment during the First Crusade in February 1098. The scene unfolds as Baldwin I of Flanders, a key figure in the Crusade, enters the city of Edessa, which had been besieged by the Christian forces. The conquest of Edessa was a significant victory for the Crusaders, and Baldwin's arrival was welcomed by the Armenian prince Thoros, who had appealed for help. In this image, Baldwin is shown being received by an Armenian clergyman, a symbol of the religious unity that underpinned the Crusade. The artist masterfully captures the sense of triumph and relief as the Crusaders finally breach the city's defenses. The intricate details of the soldiers' armor and the ornate architecture of the city gates add depth and authenticity to the scene. This engraving is a testament to the rich history of the First Crusade and the pivotal role that Baldwin I played in its success. The original painting is housed in the Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia) in Barcelona, Spain, and is a valuable addition to the library's extensive collection of historical art. The engraving serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the First Crusade and the indelible mark it left on European history.
