EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the second assault of Jerusalem by the Crusaders, repulsed with great determination. Created by Gustave Dore in 1877, this illustration from Bibliotheque des Croisades is a powerful depiction of the intense battle that took place during the First Crusade. The scene showcases moveable towers, known as turres mobiles, surrounding the besieged city's walls and citadel. Despite their valiant efforts, the Crusaders faced defeat and were forced to retreat after twelve grueling hours of fighting. Their failed attempt at capturing Jerusalem is palpable in their disappointed expressions as they leave the battlefield. Dore's attention to detail brings this historical event to life. The intricately drawn ramparts and fortified walls highlight both the strength of Jerusalem's defenses and the immense challenge faced by those seeking its conquest. This image serves as a testament to not only military strategy but also religious fervor during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of Palestine's significance within Christian history and its enduring impact on subsequent crusades. This lithograph transports us back in time, inviting contemplation on themes such as faith, conflict, victory, and defeat. Displayed proudly in a private collection today but available for all to admire through Fine Art Finder's partnership with Bridgeman Images; it stands as an everlasting reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit for power throughout centuries past.
