EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the First Crusade. John II Comnene, the Byzantine Emperor, is shown besieging Cesaree d Antioch (Shaizar) in 1138. The scene is beautifully depicted by Guillaume de Tyr, a renowned artist from the 13th century. Intriguingly, amidst the chaos of war and conflict, two prominent figures are engrossed in a game of chess. Raymond de Poitiers, Count d Antioch, and Josselin II, Count d Edesse can be seen strategizing their moves on the chessboard. This juxtaposition of leisurely activity against the backdrop of battle highlights both the intensity and complexity of life during this era. The miniature artwork comes from William of Tyre's "Miniature History of Overseas - Sea" which provides valuable insights into medieval times. It serves as a reminder that even in times marked by violence and strife, people sought solace through games and intellectual pursuits. The fine details captured within this image showcase not only the skillful artistry but also provide an invaluable glimpse into historical events that shaped our world today. As we admire this print from Bibliotheque Municipale de Lyon in France, we are transported back to an age where war and play coexisted side by side – reminding us that even amidst turmoil; human nature seeks moments of respite and diversion.
