EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the momentous event of "The Taking of Nicaea, Turkey, by the Crusaders in 1097". The image is a reproduction from a window that once adorned the Church of the Abbey of St. Denis, now regrettably destroyed. Published around 1880 by Paul Lacroix in London, this piece offers a glimpse into both military and religious life during the Middle Ages. In this striking illustration, we witness the intensity and chaos of battle as crusaders engage in a fierce siege against Nicaea. The scene captures not only the physical conflict but also showcases elements unique to medieval times - armored knights on horseback charging forward with determination while foot soldiers fight valiantly alongside them. Nestled amidst picturesque landscapes and fortified walls, Nicaea stands as an emblematic symbol representing one chapter within an epic saga known as the First Crusade. This historical event brought together peoples from different lands who shared a common purpose - reclaiming holy sites under Muslim control. Ken Welsh's skillful rendering brings this pivotal moment to life with vivid detail and meticulous attention to historical accuracy. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back centuries ago when empires clashed and faith served as both motivation and justification for war. Let us cherish these visual remnants that connect us to our past; they serve as reminders of humanity's complex history filled with triumphs, tragedies, and enduring legacies.
