EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical moment when St. Louis, King Louis IX of France, was captured by the Saracens after the Battle of Fariskur. Created in the 19th century by an anonymous European artist, this woodcut captures the essence of medieval warfare and religious conflict. In this scene, we see King Louis IX standing alongside his brothers Alphonse and Charles, surrounded by their loyal soldiers. The tension is palpable as they face off against the Egyptian Ayyubids who ultimately emerged victorious in this battle during the Seventh Crusade. The artist skillfully portrays a sense of despair and defeat on King Louis' face as he is taken captive by the Saracens. This powerful image serves as a reminder of both the bravery and vulnerability that comes with being a ruler during times of war. The intricate details within this woodcut highlight not only the military aspects but also provide insight into castle architecture prevalent during that era. It transports us back to ancient Egypt where these events unfolded centuries ago. This artwork originally appeared in Paul Lacroix's book "Military and Religious Life in Middle Ages" published in London around 1880. Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate how art can immortalize significant moments from history for generations to come.
