EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Reception of Gautier-sans-Avoir by the King of Hungary" transports us back to the late 19th century and offers a glimpse into a significant historical event. The image depicts Walter Sans Avoir, also known as Gautier-sans-Avoir, being received by the King of Hungary during his journey to the Holy Land as part of the First Crusade. Walter Sans Avoir was an influential leader who played a crucial role in the Peoples Crusade alongside Peter the Hermit. As they made their way through various European territories, including Hungary, they sought permission and support from powerful monarchs like this Hungarian king. In this scene, we witness an atmosphere filled with reverence and respect. Walter Sans Avoir is shown kneeling before the king while extending his hand in greeting. The king reciprocates with a handshake, symbolizing both acceptance and approval. The artist masterfully captures not only this momentous encounter but also highlights elements of medieval courtly life. The opulent surroundings adorned with regal symbols such as crowns emphasize both power and authority. This lithograph serves as an illustration from Paul Lacroix's book "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages". It provides valuable insight into historical events that shaped Europe during this era. As we admire this print today, it reminds us of how diplomacy played a vital role even amidst tumultuous times like crusades. It invites us to reflect on moments when leaders set aside differences for common goals
