EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts James I, also known as James the Conqueror (1208-1276), Count of Barcelona and King of Aragon, Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands. Born in 1208, James rose to power during the Middle Ages, a period marked by the Reconquista, the gradual Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. The image shows James in regal attire, wearing a crown adorned with the Aragon and Catalonia symbols, and holding a scepter. He is depicted on horseback, a common representation of power and authority during the medieval period. The background features a grand house and a library, symbolizing the importance of learning and culture during James' reign. James is best known for his military conquests, particularly the conquest of Valencia in 1238, which expanded the Kingdom of Aragon significantly. He is also credited with the establishment of the University of Valencia, further solidifying his legacy as a patron of learning. The engraving, created in 1515, is a testament to the enduring influence of James I during the Middle Ages in Europe. The image was likely produced for a noble or scholarly audience, reflecting the importance of historical record and the reverence for medieval personages. The artist, Luis Alanya, skillfully captures the essence of James I, conveying his strength, wisdom, and leadership qualities through this intricately detailed portrait.
